China plans to publish a guide about Arctic shipping in October, the transport ministry said. Navigation Guidance for Arctic Route (Northeast Passage) will be published by China Communications Press. It will advise companies on transiting the Arctic safely, Guo Peiqing, a professor from China's Ocean University, told reporters. Guo said the Arctic route will not only change trading methods, but also influence China's energy patterns. He noted that Russia is moving forward with plans to open up shipping across the northern waters.
