The Northern Sea Transit Corridor project is to create an integrated transport and logistics system for international transit sea cargo transportation on the Asia–Europe route via the Northern Sea Route (NSR). It was initiated in the Rosatom State Corporation in 2019 with the aim of creating a new offer on the international market of logistics services for the delivery of goods between Northwestern Europe and East Asia through the NSR.

The construction of the Northern Latitudinal Passage is expected to be completed in 2027.

"The total cost of the project is currently estimated at about 0.5 trillion rubles, construction is expected to be completed in 2027," the report said following a meeting in Salekhard led by Russian Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov.

According to the chairman of the State Duma Committee on Control and Regulations Olga Savastyanova, the Northern Latitudinal Passage will connect the Northern Railway with the Northern Sea Route through the port of Sabetta. This will improve logistics and open up new markets for companies that are considering investing in projects for the development of mineral deposits located in Komi.

The Northern Latitudinal Passage is a 707 km long railway project that will connect the Northern and Sverdlovsk Railways and will make it possible to export cargo from new deposits in the northern regions of the Yamal Peninsula. The projected volume of transportation by the USC will amount to 23.9 million tons of cargo per year, the bulk of which will be, in particular, transportation of gas condensate. The project will also speed up the transportation of container cargo.

Russian Helicopters holding company and Gazprom are finalizing the design of a new helicopter for operations in the Arctic shelf fields.

"On behalf of Dmitry Rogozin, who was then acting Chairman of the state Commission for the Arctic, a joint working group was created to develop an offshore helicopter, which included employees of PJSC Gazprom. We conducted a full audit of all the enterprises of the Russian Helicopters holding, and we realized that the company has the necessary potential to create the right machine. To date, Russian Helicopters, with the participation of specialists from the working group, is completing the project of the latest modification of the helicopter, which is called the Mi-171A3" Vladimir Dimitrov, Deputy head of Gazprom's Department said at the international Arctic summit "the Arctic and offshore projects: prospects, innovations and development".

According to him, the new helicopter will meet all the necessary safety requirements for offshore (over the sea) flights on the Arctic shelf. The helicopter will be able to transport teams of specialists, cargo, as well as carry out rescue operations over the sea.

About such proving ground as open spaces of the Arctic, any producer of snowmobiles can only dream. In the future we for certain will see the models of snowmobiles created according to the specification of polar explorers and last tests at polar stations and in expeditions.

The need for nuclear ice breakers and intensity of their operation continue to increase together with growth of economy of the Russian Arctic. In the next years there will be a tenfold growth of volumes of a cargo transportation across the Northern Sea Route (NSR) which will be provided with support of nuclear icebreaking fleet.

The Arctic has unique natural and resource and infrastructure potential, and her development becomes reasonable a priority of policy of ensuring the national security realized by our state. Social and economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is carried out in two main directions: broad development of mineral and raw potential and development of the transport system including providing transit transportations across the Northern Sea Route.
