The Straits Times published a Washington Post story on the controversial cruise ship travelling through the Northwest Passage.
Michael Byers, a UBC professor and Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law, was quoted in the story regarding the safety issues associated with the trip.
“If the entire ship — all 1,000 passengers, all 600 crew — require search and rescue, for instance, if the ship sinks, then that would actually break the Canadian search-and-rescue system,” he said.
