This is another important result of the cooperation between Shandong Port Group and COSCO SHIPPING Special Transportation.

The Arctic Waterway is the shortest sea channel connecting the three major economic circles of Northeast Asia, Europe and North America. In recent years, with the continuous changes in global temperature, the strategic value of the Arctic Waterway has become increasingly prominent and its commercial value has become higher and higher.
