Korean shipbuilders race to master Arctic ice-navigation technology
Korean shipbuilders are pushing to develop technology that allows ships to navigate safely through Arctic ice, as melting sea ice opens new shipping routes and access to energy resources. The race positions South Korea's major yards against international rivals to supply ice-class vessels and equipment for polar shipping, a market expected to grow as Arctic traffic increases.
Why now: Melting Arctic sea ice is opening new shipping lanes, raising the commercial stakes for shipbuilding nations to develop ice-navigation capability.
