2.7 Legal assessment and Environmental Impact Assessment
WP7, Part 1 identified the applicable documents for the routes selected by WP l. As shown in Table 2.7.1, the lengths of the routes are categorized into internal waters, territorial sea and economic zone. The details are referred to the original report (Semanov et al., 1998). The report described some cost tables for icebreaker tariffs, ice pilots and pot dues. Some of them were adopted as the cost data in this simulation. However, the other legal items affecting the voyage cost are not identified. The details are referred to the WP7 original report (Semanov et al., 1998).

WP7, part II performed the environmental impact assessment for the selected routes.
However the assumed ship is 40,000dwt container carrier as depicted in Table 2.7.2, and it should be noted that the type of the ship is different from the service ships used in this simulation study. The corresponding wasted material is calculated in Table 2.7.3. Also, the navigation period is limited from July to September in accordance with L2 class limitation.
