Is the transit future at the Northern Sea Route?
the Northern Sea Route (NSR) cannot become a full-fledged transit route yet. Such opinion was expressed by the head of Northwest office of the International academy of transport Chizhkov Youri within the IX annual international Trilogy conference which took place past week in Saint Petersburg
according to the expert, effective development of SMP is interfered today by a number of problems. First, almost all linear diesel ice breakers repeatedly developed the resource and are subject to replacement, Chizhkov Youri specifies. Nuclear ice breakers (except the 50 years of the Victory ice breaker) have to be taken out of service and are utilized within the next decade. Secondly, all Arctic ports, except for port Dudinka, demand reconstruction, modernization and dredging. Besides, the expert notes, because of sanctions and falling of prices of oil the revenues of the budget were reduced that was reflected in execution of the state programs connected with shipping in .
Meanwhile, extension of terms of navigation in involves big expenses. "Year-round navigation which began in 1978 in the western sector for the purpose of export of production of Norilsk combine (now is included into PUBLIC JOINT-STOCK COMPANY "MMC"NORILSK NICKEL" — a comment Information company "Regnum" ), cost to the state approximately 200 billion dollars in the prices of the 1975th year. During the period from 2007 to 2012 [to Russian Federation] subsidizing of icebreaking fleet, in the last two years — 1 billion 264 million rubles a year" was carried out — Chizhkov Youri tells. As a result volumes of a transit cargo transportation increased in 2012 to 1, 127 million tons, and in 2013 — to 1, 176 million tons — it is a record indicator for Sevmorputi's all history. "After the termination of subsidizing of icebreaking fleet transit on SMP was reduced in 2014 to 274 thousand tons, in 2015 — to 39 thousand tons" — the expert states. According to him, in four and a half months of the current year on the Arctic route passed only 18 transit vessels — "such number of courts passes through the Suez Canal in four and a half hours". So conversations on use of SMP as a full-fledged transit route yet have under themselves no real justification, Chizhkov Youri follow from the report. we Will remind p to
that the Northern Sea Route is the main Russian sea communication in . SMP passes along northern coast Russian Federation through the Seas Arctic Ocean. It connects the European and Far East ports, and also mouths of the navigable Siberian rivers in uniform transport system. Length (from Kara Strait to Providence Bay) — 5600 km. The distance from Saint Petersburg to Vladivostok on the Northern Sea Route makes over 14 thousand km (through the Suez Canal — over 23 thousand km). Freght traffic on SMP in 2015 made 5,4 million tons of freights.
