Actually the 2 most aggressive players in this claim are Canada and Russia. Then Norway as far third. With the support of Scandinavian brothers. And only then the US which was pretty quiet compared to those 3.
And it is resources, oil, gas which is primary target while you speak about sailing routes. Everybody could sail with trade cargo through there anyway.
