Bilingual guide to offer ships tips for safe Arctic travel

A Chinese/English version of the Arctic Voyage Guide (The Northeast Passage) will be published in July, aiming to enhance navigation safety for national and international vessels traveling in the Arctic.

Marking the country's first bilingual guide to the Arctic voyage, the compilation is a joint venture of the East China Sea Navigation Support Center, the Polar Research Institute of China, and the Marine Navigation Research Center at Jimei University in Xiamen, Fujian province.

The guide includes subjects, such as meteorological conditions and the navigation environment, safe routes and operation in ice zones.
