Innovative transport and logistics schemes in the Arctic zone of Russia as development drivers of the world economy

Abstract

Planet climate changes, affecting the Arctic Ocean, open up new prospects for optimizing transport flows between Asian and European countries. Mankind has long sought to use these routes, but shipbuilding technologies did not allow doing this before. The combination of these factors allows Russia not only to provide short-sea cargo traffic, but also to provide transit facilities for such large exporters of goods as China, South Korea, Japan and to organize deliveries to these countries of raw energy and materials from the polar zone of Russia. The article discusses a number of original cost-effective schemes for the supply of energy from the polar zone of Russia to Europe and Asia.
