Arctic supply chain reliability in Baffin Bay and Greenland

Despite the obvious economic advantages of utilising supply chains across northern routes, there are significant challenges to their reliability. Every year an increasing number ships venture into region supply, extract or transit most parts world. However, chain reliability has been a challenge for ship operators, despite technological and organisational innovations. This paper investigates hazards that face Arctic in surrounding Baffin Bay Greenland as well developments adopted mitigate them. A bow-tie approach is used illustrate faced by shipping industry. We conclude increased traffic will require investments systems infrastructure manage hazards, thereby Specifically, protective barriers like emergency response icebreaker capacity need be upgraded positioned closer emerging lanes. Northwest Canada both poorly covered terms helicopter search rescue availability. The consequence that, with increase outside traditional busy routes south, lack access effective hazard barriers.
