The shorter distance may facil- itate more than a doubling of vessels’ operational energy efficiency performance. There is at present sub- stantial uncertainty in schedule reliability via the NSR. Unless the schedule reliability is improved, the NSR should primarily be explored for bulk rather than for liner shipping. A major disadvantage with the NSR is its seasonality. Shipping operations in the summer time via the NSRmay already today be prof- itable for minor bulk trades. Additional shipping routes may give more flexibility, and the NSR route choice option may facilitate supply chain agility and adaptability. 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.1.
