Maersk Line’s containership Venta Maersk has almost completed her maiden voyage from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg through the Northern Sea Route (NSR). On 22 September the vessel arrived at Bremerhaven, having successfully passed the Arctic Ocean from the Bering Strait to the Norwegian Sea, and now on the way to St. Petersburg passing by Sweden.
This is the first Maersk vessel passing the NSR and the shipping company claims this unique passage is just a one-off trial aiming to “explore an unknown route for container shipping and to collect scientific data”.
