Scandinavian shipping routes

Scandinavian shipping routes are maritime pathways that connect Nordic countries—such as Norway, Sweden, and Denmark—with other parts of Europe, North America, and Asia. These routes follow the natural geography of the region, navigating along the Baltic Sea, North Sea, and Arctic Ocean, often using key ports like Gothenburg, Oslo, and Copenhagen. They facilitate the transport of goods, raw materials, and energy resources, playing a vital role in international trade. The routes are influenced by factors like weather, ice conditions (especially in the Arctic), and geopolitical considerations, ensuring efficient and secure maritime connectivity for Scandinavia.
