This study investigates the impact of climate change on Arctic sea ice conditions and the navigability of Arctic shipping routes from 2023 to 2100. Using climate and ship navigability data, and focusing on Polar Class 7 and open water vessels, the study projects that year-round navigation will be possible along the Northern Sea Route by 2100, with significant implications for global shipping networks and international trade.
