Abstract

This chapter discusses the economic connections of the Arctic to the globe are driving new challenges for Arctic marine transport and all marine activities in this once-remote region. Changes in Arctic sea ice, and the geopolitics of delimitation of the outer continental shelf, are also influencing future governance and uses of the Arctic Ocean. Arctic state members of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) need to work together to achieve Arctic-specific rules and regulations compatible with existing IMO conventions and standards.
