- Are the Northern sea routes really shorter than the normally used sea routes ?
- Are the shipping companies interested in using the Northern sea routes ?
- Is the shipping traffic through Panama Canal and Suez Canal going to reduce ?
- Is the Indian Ocean going to be of no importance ?
- Are the Somali pirates going to lose their business ?
