Promising Directions for the Development of the Transport and Logistics Infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route

Relevance. The modern global agenda dictates new rules and principles of building international relations, including international trade. Under these conditions, the reorientation of foreign trade flows becomes an obvious step. This reorientation plays a significant role for Russia in terms of stabilizing the economy, increasing competitiveness and defending national economic interests. The purpose is consideration of the direction of reorientation of Russian foreign trade flows in the context of anti-Russian sanctions.

Objectives: describe the composition and tasks of the functioning of the transport and logistics infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route; identify the problems and prospects for the development of the transport and logistics infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route.

Methodology. The research methodology included the use of methods for analyzing quantitative and qualitative characteristics, theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific literature, methods of mathematical statistics, analysis of the expert method in open sources, generalization of the analyzed information.

Results. The geographical position of Russia and its dominant position in the Arctic makes it promising to use the Northern Sea Route to develop its own transport potential, provided that all the problems that currently prevent an increase in the cargo turnover of this route are solved. Despite the advantages in the length of the route and speed, the meteorological features and complexity of the northern waters, as well as the technological backwardness of the port infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route, make it necessary to make serious investments in the development of both the transport and logistics infrastructure itself and in the creation of a fleet that will carry goods and ice wiring.

Conclusions. The creation of an appropriate technological infrastructure for the development of cargo transportation involves the creation of new hub ports. In addition to improving technological infrastructure systems for improving loading and unloading capacities, the expansion of the container fleet is also relevant. To connect the ports of the Northern Sea Route with the railway infrastructure, the implementation of the projects "Northern Latitudinal Passage 1" and "Northern Latitudinal Passage 2" should be continued.
