Niels Clemensen, CEO of Royal Arctic Line, advises those interested in Greenland to visit and grasp the challenges posed by its harsh environment. He highlights that despite the potential for reducing shipping times through the Northwest Passage due to melting ice, the logistical and infrastructural realities complicate operations. Greenland lacks extensive road networks and relies heavily on air and sea transport. The increasing focus on this region by superpowers underscores the urgent need for improved resources, such as icebreakers, to navigate the Arctic successfully.
The world's biggest island does not have a big road network or trains, meaning everything has to be transported either by sea or air.
The spotlight on Greenland has highlighted how poorly equipped much of Europe and the US are for the Arctic environment, especially regarding icebreakers.
