China’s new Arctic shipping route could take vessels to Europe in about 20 days, NDTV reports. The route is drawing attention as global conflicts, tariffs and disruption affect established trade corridors. Shipping companies are looking for alternatives to the Suez Canal route, which has become increasingly difficult to rely on. The report also points to a catch linked to the new Arctic passage, though the available account does not specify it.
