Transport and logistics potential of the Northern Sea Route in the Eurasian economic space

Abstract

The Russian Northern Sea Route, combined with the European and Asia-Pacific sea transport corridors, can form the basis of the «Northern Sea Silk Route». Throughout the history, control over the «basic energy resource» and transport and logistics infrastructure provided competitive advantages in international trade. The formation of a system of bunkering bases with gas motor fuel and its own merchant fleet using LNG will ensure Russia's competitiveness in the international division of labor.
