Special Seminar on International Maritime Shipping

Date & Time: June 21 (Fri.) 13:00-15:00
Venue: Seminar Room E & F, JSCE
土木学会E・F会議室（〒160-0004東京都新宿区四谷一丁目外濠公園内）
Abstract: Due to the globalization of the world economy and advancement of transport and communication technology,
international maritime shipping in each region of the world has become more interdependent. The Suez Canal and Panama Canal,
key infrastructures of maritime shipping, are also influenced by each other as well as by other factors such as world
economic trends and regional development plans. In particular, the capacity of the Panama Canal will be expanded through
construction of the third lock in 2015. Also, Arctic shipping via the Northern Sea Route (along the Russian Arctic coast)
has the potential to shorten the distance of worldwide maritime shipping, due to the melting of sea ice. This special
seminar will bring together specialists from Egypt and Japan who will provide the latest information on the current status
and future prospect of the Suez Canal, Panama Canal, and Northern Sea Route. Discussion after the presentations is also expected.
