Recent Russian Strategies for Increased Development of the NSR Russia s Integrated Development Plan for the Northern Sea Route 2015-2030: The plan (June 2015) stresses the importance of providing safer and more reliable navigation on the NSR for maritime export of Russian natural resource materials but also the strategic importance of NSR for Russian national security. The plan is also to increase international transit cargo transportation on NSR in partnership with Asian countries, and in particular with China Project Plan for the Arctic to 2030: Total of 150 projects to be implemented totaling nearly RUR 5 trillion (October 2016). 48% of the projects have to do with mineral processing, 16% with transport, 14% with geological exploration and shelf projects, 10% are connected with industry and energy, and 6% are environmental, telecommunications and tourist project Arctic Project Development Planning: Establish development zones in regions of the country's Arctic zone (October 2016); project offices in every Arctic region linked by a joint government management system
1. Major Arctic Ports Murmansk Port Murmansk Transport Hub Project: Planned construction of oil and coal terminals, container terminal, facilities to handle fertilizers, and railroad (46 km long); 22 million tons transported in 2015 The Murmansk transport hub development project is being implemented as a public-private partnership Specialized shipyard for large-scale offshore facilities (Novatek) and coastal support base for shelf projects (Rosneft) Sabetta Port Governmental program Transport System Development to 2030 provides funding valued at RUR 41.5 billion; RUR 4.4 billion investment in 2016 (RUR 3 billion prior to 2016)
1. Major Arctic Ports Arkhangelsk Port Arkhangelsk New Deepwater Seaport: New port 55 km north of Arkhangelsk city in the Dvina Gulf of the White Sea, operating year-round and servicing vessels up to 100,000 dwt and transporting up to 30 million tons of cargo annually by 2030; including railway connection from the city to the port; part of the Russian Transport Development Strategy to 2030; container shipping seen as a key component of the port Public-private partnership project between Arctic Transport and Industrial Centre Arkhangelsk JSC (est. in May 2016) and Chinese company Poly International Holding Co. Total amount of needed public and private investment has been estimated at RUR 45 billion - the project is linked to the Belkomur Railway Project
1. Major Arctic Ports Sabetta Port Development: LNG shipments begin at the end of 2017 and by 2020 cargo handling at the port is planned to reach 30 million tons; logistics port for all kinds of cargo; infrastructure also includes a 50 km long sea channel to the port Sabetta Port Public-private partnership between Novatek and the Russian federal government Russian government has invested more than RUR 47 billion in the Sabetta Port and adjacent infrastructure (as of April 2016); number of companies involved in the project is around 650 and they come from all over Russia

NSR s Future Transshipment Hubs To Northwest Europe To East Coast of America Kirkenes-Murmansk To West Coast of America Provideniya Anadyr Nome Anchorage Dutch Harbor Adak Island Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky To Northeast Asia An image of the Arctic sea ice on March 24, 2016 (maximum ice extent)
NSR s Future Transshipment Hubs Oil & Oil Products Dry Bulk Cargo Containers, Project Cargo Strategic Location: Proximity to several transport routes and preferably at the end of a major international route; were routes divide and ships head for a number of destinations Shelter: Good shelter from swells and wind is essential; large ships are susceptible to strong winds as are large cranes Deepwater Port: The port needs to be sufficiently deep and wide, and have clear approaches that can accommodate the largest ships on the routes they serve Free of Sea Ice Year-Round: Feeder ships bringing cargo to and from the transshipment hubs are non-ice-strengthened Available Space: Land must be available to extend operations or build new wharfs to allow for future increases in shipping; several hundred hectares of land would be required for cargo/container storage and industries related to port operations
NSR s Future Transshipment Hubs Oil & Oil Products Dry Bulk Cargo Containers, Project Cargo Cargo Handling: Effective port facilities (large cranes and other loading and unloading equipment) and high level of performance (short time to load and unload cargoes) Cargo Storage: Large and effective cargo storage facilities; oil/lng storage facilities are essential prerequisites for providing for the energy needs of a fleet of cargo vessels Port Services: Access to a wide range of support services including repair and maintenance services; wastewater and ballest water treatment facilities; fresh water and electricity; food; medical facilities; customs; and labour Transportation and Communication Links: Proximity to an international airport; effective railway links; roads and/or river transport; efficient international communication channels Urban Centers: Proximity to urban centres and their transport networks is an advantage, but urban development close to ports can limit future expansion possibilities
