First, it conducts a survey of past and present Northern Sea Route (NSR) cargo flows. Then follow discussions of the route’s commercial potential as a transit route, as well as of its economic importance and relevance for each of the Russian Arctic regions. These discussions are summarized by estimates of what types and volumes of NSR cargoes that can realistically be expected in the period 2000-2015. This is then followed by a survey of the status quo of the NSR infrastructure (above all the ice-breakers, ice-class cargo vessels and ports), with estimates of its future capacity. Based on the estimated future NSR cargo potential, future NSR infrastructure requirements are calculated and compared with the estimated capacity in order to identify the main, future infrastructure bottlenecks for NSR operations. The information presented in the report is mainly compiled from data and research results that were published through the International Northern Sea Route Programme (INSROP) 1993-99, but considerable updates have been made using recent information, statistics and analyses from various sources.

The Northern sea route is a future road and there is expected big rise in transits in the following years. Reason for the expectations is its unique location and reduction in distance between Atlantic and Asia. Climate change is affecting much more in the Arctic locations than other places in the world and that´s why it might change shipping much in the Northern sea route. At first this thesis introduces the Northern sea route and then tells about climate changes in Arctic areas. The last part focuses on how changes in Arctic Sea affect to shipping. I tried to find out new possibilities for shipping in the Northern sea route.

  • History of the Northern Sea Route
    1 History of the Northern Sea Route ``History is a lantern to the future, which shines to us from the past'' V.O. Klyuchevskiy 1.1 FIRST VOYAGES (V.Ye. Borodachev, V.Yu. Alexandrov) The history of the exploration of the North is full of heroic spirit andtragedyÐthe voyages andexpeditionsthat accompaniedgeographical discoveriesÐthe history of scienti®c studiesÐorganization of a system of stationary and non-stationary observa- tionsÐcreation of the scienti®c±technical support service for the Northern Sea Route (NSR)Ðall in all, the history of a ®erce battle against the incredibly severe conditions of the Arctic. It is challenging to comprehensively reconstruct the backgroundto this history. The famous Norwegian polar explorer andscientist Fridtjof Nansen wrote: ``We speak about the ®rst discovery of the NorthÐbut how can we know when the ®rst man appearedin the Earth's northern regions? We know nothing except for the very last migration stages of humanity. What occurredduring these long centuries is still hidden from us'' (Nansen, 1911). Indeed, we have some evidence on Pytheas, a Greek from Massalia, who between 350 and310 bc reachedEnglandandthen a ``gloomy land''he calledThule, beyond which ``there is no sea or landor air with some mixture of all these elements hanging in space'' (Belkin, 1983). Such a perception of the earth's northern regions was preserved for many centuries andonly began to change in the 9th to 11th centuries with the appearance of ®rst the Norsemen in the Barents andWhite Seas. Between 870 and 890 ad, more than a thousandyears after the voyage of Pytheas, the Norwegian seafarer Ottar rounded the northern tip of Europe and explored the Barents and White Seas.

  • The Shipping Crisis in the Soviet Eastern Arctic at the Close of the 1983 Navigation Season WILLIAM BARR’ and EDWARD A
    ARCTIC VOL. 38, NO. 1 (MARCH 1985) P. 1-17 The Shipping Crisis in the Soviet Eastern Arctic at the Close of the 1983 Navigation Season WILLIAM BARR’ and EDWARD A. WILSON2 ABSTRACT. During September 1983 an unusually early freeze-up and persistent northwesterly winds that drove heavy multi-year ice into Proliv Longa and against the north coast of Chukotka resulted in a critical situation with regard to shipping in the Soviet eastern Arctic. Ports suchas Zelenyy Mys and Mys Shmidta were prematurely closedby ice, leaving Pevek as the only functioning port in this part of the Arctic. Worse still, dozens of ships were beset in the ice at various points from the mouth of the Indigirka east to Bering Strait. One freighter, Nina Sagaydak, was crushed and sank near Kosa Dvukh Pilotov on 8 October; a sister ship,Kolya Myagotin, was badly holedand barely managed to limp out of the Arc- tic. Practically all available ice breakers, including the nuclear-powered icebreakersLenin, Leonid Brezhnev and Sibir’, were transferred from the western to the eastern Arctic to free the jammed ships. Ultimately allrescued, were but it waslate November before the last ship sailed from Pevek. Many ships were forced to head west from Pevekto the Atlantic, rather than attempt to battleway their through the heavy ice in Proliv Longa in order to return to their Pacific homeports. Singled out forparticular praise in Soviet post-mortems of the crisis were the nuclear-powered icebreakers and the new Noril’sk class (SA-15) icebreaking freighters, several of whichcame straight from the Finnish shipyards to help rectify the situation in the eastern Arctic.
