Danish containership giant AP Moller-Maersk is in talks with Russa's Atomflot over a new Arctic shipping service.
It told Reuters that it could send more cargoes via the Northern Sea Route (NSR) in partnership with Atomflot's icebreaker operator Rosatomflot.
“We have experienced growing demand for transport of goods from the Far East to West Russia, which we are currently exploring the possibilities of offering together with Atomflot,” it said.
