Heat transfer or heat flow is the process whereby heat flows from regions of higher to regions of lower temperature.
The rate of heat flow depends on the mode of heat transfer and on the temperature difference across which the heat flows, as well as on the matter of the system under consideration and its geometry.
The "electron fluid" of a conductive metallic solid conducts nearly all of the heat current through the solid (phonon currents are still there, but carry less than 1% of the energy).

When the heat transport of the Antilles Current is added to the Florida Current, it would seem that the Gulf Stream makes a significant contribution to the heat load on the Arctic ice, even if only a small fraction of the heat transported by the Gulf Stream actually reaches the Norwegian Sea.
