China to Europe Shipping Now 20 Days
https://gcaptain.com/chinese-containership-istanbul-bridge-reaches-uk-via-arctic-route-in-record-20-days/

By going through Russia instead of the Malacca Strait and the Suez Canal, shipping from China to Europe can be cut down from 30-40 days to ~20 days.

How come nobody did this before???

It’s because climate change has made it possible now while it was too frozen before

The easiest way would be to build a railway from Beijing to Hamburg. But nobody wants to do that.

>shipping costs $63,000 per day assuming they're fully stocked

So now each ship saves $1.2M per trip to Europe, assuming there's no additional costs traveling the Northern route.

Yamal. That's from Yamal peninsula which is on the picrel and is fully beyond the arctic circle.
It comes from local Samoyedic language which means "the edge of the earth".

If there's no ice left in the Arctic you can also skip the Russian coast and hug Canada and Greenland so it's not like it's some kind of Suez-like monopoly
