Preconditions for the development of Russian Arctic export, coastal (cabotage) transportation and project cargo for the arctic demand
Journal Title: Arctic and North - Year 2019, Vol 37, Issue 37
Abstract
The article considers the concept and description of the Northern Sea Route (NSR), the main prerequisites for the development of Russian Arctic export by using the NSR. The concept and analysis of coastal shipping using Arctic vessels and the predictive conclusions on possible Arctic projects are also presented in the article. Systems for the development of Russian Arctic export, coastal transportation, and project cargo for Arctic demand include freight transport systems by rail and sea transport fleet. The purpose of this article is to analyze the data of transport systems, as well as to identify key prospects for the development of this system in Russia, taking into account a new concept – the Northern Sea Transport Corridor. According to the fact that it is a national transport corridor of the Russian Federation, the development of the cargo traffic is mainly connected with the Arctic exploration projects.
