Abstract:Construction of new Arctic ports is a complex scientific and technical challenge. The experience extends to the berths that can accept the vessels with a small draft only during the summer navigation period. Commercial efficiency of shipping in the Arctic seas is possible only with year-round use of large-tonnage vessels of high ice class with a draft of 12 meters or more.
