First regular Arctic container service China-Europe Arctic Express set to debut this week, ship operator tells GT_我的网站
一 |
A Chinese shipping company has confirmed with the Global Times the plan to launch a regular container service via Russia's Northern Sea Route to Europe this week, marking a new Arctic option for Asia-Europe trade once it sets sail.
Chinese container shipping company Sea Legend Shipping told the Global Times on Tuesday that its vessel Dubai Tower, originally scheduled to depart Ningbo-Zhoushan Port in East China's Zhejiang Province, on August 15, has had its departure adjusted because of weather conditions. The company said it is making internal arrangements for the maiden voyage of the China-Europe Arctic Express Route.
According to industry observers, the move reflects growing interest in Arctic shipping as global logistics networks continue to diversify beyond traditional canal routes. As polar ice retreats and seasonal navigation windows widen, the Arctic is emerging as a practical alternative for some Asia-Europe shipments, particularly those seeking to avoid congested or geopolitically sensitive sea lanes.
On Monday, the Financial Times reported that Sea Legend would launch the first regular container shipping service through the Arctic this week. The report said the company has branded the service the "Ice Silk Road," a reference to the historical Silk Road linking China and Europe.
The move comes as Arctic shipping increases amid rapidly shrinking sea ice. The Northern Sea Route recorded a record 23 transits last summer, up from 15 in 2024, according to figures cited by the FT.
Sea Legend told the Global Times that, compared with traditional China-Europe routes that can take around 40 days, the Arctic passage could cut transit time by nearly half, reducing the journey to about 20 days under direct service conditions.
The inaugural voyage is expected to call at Qingdao Port, Shanghai Port, Taicang Port and Ningbo-Zhoushan Port in China before continuing to European ports including Teesport and Felixstowe in the UK, Hamburg in Germany and Gdynia in Poland. The final domestic calling sequence may still change due to typhoon-related weather conditions.
The service will carry cargo including energy storage containers and related components, power batteries and new energy vehicles - goods that typically require faster transit, stable schedules and controlled transport conditions.
Sea Legend said the Arctic route could offer exporters a new solution in terms of both speed and reliability, as traditional canal and mainline routes face growing uncertainty from congestion, geopolitical disruptions and longer port waiting times.
The company also said the route has cooperation agreements with destination terminals including Felixstowe, Rotterdam, Wilhelmshaven and Antwerp, giving vessels priority berthing and a "green channel" advantage that could reduce anchorage delays and logistics costs.
Zhong Zhechao, an international logistics service expert told the Global Times on Tuesday that the move highlights rising interest in using the Arctic region for shipping, with Arctic shipping gradually becoming a practical alternative in the global logistics network as melting ice expands seasonal navigation windows and shipping lines seek to avoid congested and geopolitically sensitive sea lanes.
For exporters - especially cross-border e-commerce firms, manufacturers of seasonal products, and new energy companies - shorter shipping times could ease inventory pressure and reduce working-capital costs by allowing more flexible production and sales planning.
Zhong said this may be particularly valuable for companies racing to meet European sales seasons, as shorter transit times improve responsiveness to overseas demand.
The company also said the Arctic's low-temperature environment may be especially suitable for transporting new energy products such as batteries and energy storage systems, which require heightened attention to safety and thermal-risk considerations during transit.
Looking ahead, Sea Legend aims to achieve roughly four months of stable annual operation within the next three to five years, with a longer-term goal of year-round Arctic navigation within five to ten years.
The launch underscores how Chinese shipping firms are accelerating their Arctic deployment, turning what was once a long-term vision into operational reality.
According to the Xinhua News Agency, in September 2025, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port launched its first China-Europe Arctic container express route. The move was expected to provide strong support for trade enterprises to expand into new international logistics channels, the port said.
In recent years, Arctic shipping routes have increasingly come under the spotlight in the international community and have the potential to become important routes in international trade, Lin Jian, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, told a press conference in September 2025.
China stands ready to work with Russia and other Arctic states as well as interested countries to strengthen international cooperation on the building and operation of basic infrastructure along Arctic shipping routes and jointly advance the development and exploration of the routes and protect the environment there, Lin said.
。 Sophie 编译 一名顾客声称在奥克兰一家Woolworths超市看到一只鸽子在坚果和谷物售货机里吃东西，这是近一周来超市发生的又一起食品卫生安全事件。 2月1日，这位顾客和她妈妈一起去北岸的Milford Woolworths购物，看到一只鸽子在地上啄食物。 Advertise with us 当她们回到放坚果的过道时，她们说看到鸽子把它的头伸进坚果售货机，试图把里面的食物弄出来。 这位不愿透露姓名的女子拍下了照片，并告诉英文《先驱报》，她们相信这只“天才”鸽子已经在那里待了一段时间，因为它已经摸索出了如何弄出坚果来。 “那只鸽子在那里待了一会儿。
二 | 第二次我们看到它时它在坚果里啄。
三 | 它把整个头伸进孔里，然后用力推，它知道坚果最终会出来，然后它就能吃到了。” “我妈妈觉得很恶心，但这只鸟相当聪明，它想出了如何控制售货机吃到坚果的方法。它知道机子是如何工作的。
四 | ” 这位顾客说，她在Milford店里多次看到过鸽子，她再也不想购买没有包装的坚果或谷物了。
五 | 这只鸽子在那里待了“很长时间”，而且“不怕人”，这让她觉得这只鸽子对周围的环境很熟悉。 Woolworths的一位发言人表示，他们非常重视害虫/动物控制，并请求顾客在遇到野生动物和卫生问题时立即通知他们。 “鸟类是食品环境中的有害物种，虽然它们进入有顾客的食品场所是正常的，但我们有责任尽一切可能阻止它们进入，并赶走飞进来的。
六 | ” “我们认真对待害虫控制，并在所有门店都制定了管理计划，我们还与害虫控制公司Rentokil签订了合同。” “如果我们需要管理特定商店的鸟类，我们可能会采取措施，如安装网子或专门的入口挡板，以帮助解决问题。” “拥有安全和卫生的商店对我们来说很重要，如果顾客在我们店里看到鸟类或其他害虫，请立即告诉我们的团队。” 货架上栖息着鸽子，店里发现老鼠 此前，有顾客在奥克兰另一家Woolworths超市拍下了鸽子栖息在货架上的照片。
七 | 这位匿名顾客说，她曾多次看到鸽子和其他鸟类在Grey Lynn Woolworths的农产品上啄食（下图），并踩过食物，最近一次是在上周。 “太脏了！” “我的意思是，这很令人讨厌。这里存在卫生问题。坦率地说，我认为需要对Woolworths进行处罚。” 新西兰初级产业部的食品安全合规官员正在与该超市合作，以在收到投诉后帮助它解决问题。 害虫控制公司Rentokil在其网站上列出了鸽子和其他鸟类可能携带的几种疾病和其他健康风险，包括沙门氏菌、大肠杆菌、真菌感染和鸟螨。 “有些由鸽子和海鸥传播的疾病会让你严重生病。
八 | 重要的是在一发现鸟类的踪迹时就采取行动，以避免这些相关的健康风险。”Rentokil说。 此前，但尼丁一家Countdown超市遭受老鼠侵扰，基督城Eastgate Countdown的熟食被老鼠污染，还有一只老鼠在奥克兰一家Pak n 'Save的过道上乱窜。 前两起事件都引发了新西兰食品安全部门及其母公司Woolworths的调查。 相关阅读： 中国游客落地南岛第一天，被Countdown的活老鼠惊呆！ 奥克兰这家超市也发现老鼠！视频曝光...... 注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。
