Innovative transport technologies for transportation along the Northern Sea Route

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of innovative transport technologies for the transportation of liquefied natural gas by sea along the Northern Sea Route. The attention of the researchers was directed to the study of innovative mooring technologies in the conditions of the Far North. In the case of cargo transportation of gas along the Northern Sea Route, there is a need for continuous movement in view of the peculiarities of the Arctic Ocean and the danger of icing and stopping the cargo flow. To ensure the continuity of the cargo flow along the Northern Sea Route, it is necessary to provide refueling of sea transport, for this purpose, the introduction of an innovative system of hydraulic magnetic fenders is proposed. The application of this innovative technology consists in the use of electromagnetic equipment for the fender system when bunkering at sea on the “ship to ship” principle and the port harbor instead of the traditional mooring principle. It is used to improve the mooring process several times, which leads to increased economic efficiency and additional safety of crew members, and as an additional means of overcoming the ice barrier, which is a feature of the Northern Sea Route.
