RUSSIA’S NEW TRANSPORT STRATEGY: ROLE OF NORTHERN SEA ROUTE IN RUSSIA’S TRANSPORT POLICY

The Northern Sea Route needs huge investments to compete with the Panama and Suez canals. This investment will be possible through the construction of LNG plants in the Arctic and associated infrastructure, as well as the connection of NSR to International Transport Corridors North-South and West-East. Thus, two most important tasks will be solved — development of transport infrastructure in the Arctic and development of Russian LNG projects. In 2027 Rosatom plans to start transit freight transportation from Asia to Europe through NSR. The company expects to reach the volume of transportation of 72 million tons of cargo per year, mainly container —43 million tons. According to some reports, the implementation of the plan will require $7 billion investments.

This will help to unite the entire Arctic coast in terms of shipping and economic development.
