Something that will change in the next century. I'm curious how that will affect shipping. I'm imagining it won't have much impact on container shipping but natural resources probably?

No, on the contrary! The effect on container shipping will be absolutely massive with the Northeast Passage opening up. It's going to cut thousands of miles off shipping routes, since its the much shorter route from American East Coast ports and the Euros to Asia.
