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 timeline for Novatek’s high-profile Arctic Export Infrastructure LNG 2 (19.8mpta) may have hit a modest speedbump, as the ~$1.9BN request to help Chris Tsung, CFA 646-998-8290 finance critical aspects of Arctic 2 [the Utrenneye LNG terminal on Gydan peninsula (page [email protected] 4), and reloading terminals in Murmansk (for European cargoes) and Kamchatka (for Asia cargoes)] are absent from Russia’s 2020 draft budget. While the project has Use already reached a positive FID, and is clearly a national priority – we think it’s worth watching whether any squabble over the ultimate funding source ends up delaying its operational timeline (which is already ambitious). The primary options appeared to be (1) the state budget (absent), or (2) funding from the ~$124B National Wealth Fund, which appears to be a more complicated and competitive process (below). Considering that Arctic 2 is being used as a fulcrum to revitalize/create local content industries - For including the Zvvezda shipyard for the required LNG carriers (Arc-7s or similar - which cost ~$350MM each in Korea) and some local fabrication of key equipment, we ultimately expect continued sovereign support. However, given narrower pricing/economics and (potentially) some budgeting hot-potato, we think its worth watching the Arctic 2 operational timeline.

    Maritime Shipping on the Northern Sea Route: Need for Greater Emphasis on Mutual Cooperation and a Non-Negotiable Safety Culture

    SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UDC: [347.79:001.895](98)(045) DOI: 10.37482/issn2221-2698.2020.39.5 Maritime Shipping on the Northern Sea Route: Need for Greater Emphasis on Mutual Cooperation and a Non-Negotiable Safety Culture. Part I © Jawahar BHAGWAT, Ph.D. Arts (History), researcher E-mail: [email protected] Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Arkhangelsk, Russia Abstract. The opening of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) due to the melting of the Arctic sea ice ushers in many opportunities. The International Maritime Organization has introduced several regulations for ship- ping and the training of seafarers. The Northern Sea Route has several challenges concerning the infrastruc- ture and the harsh weather conditions. The recent incident on board the Viking Sky cruise liner was a re- minder of such challenges. The Norwegian authorities responded admirably, and the Search and Rescue operation was conducted with the necessary coordinated effort in the shortest possible time. Other inci- dents along the NSR and increasing ship casualties in the Arctic region have been analyzed concerning the adequacy of existing regulations. The author’s opinion is that these incidents bring out a need to examine the adequacy of the Polar code, infrastructure along the NSR, and the current state of Search and Rescue (SAR). From a practical point of view, the Norwegian experience would be of interest to all Arctic states and the IMO. The evolution of the Polar Code and the challenges in implementation are discussed. The article puts forth several recommendations for improving cooperation and safety to make the NSR a viable alterna- tive route.

Jakob Belter ([email protected]) Abstract. Changes in Arctic sea ice thickness are the result of complex interactions of the dynamic and variable ice cover with atmosphere and ocean. Most of the sea ice exits the Arctic Ocean through Fram Strait, which is why long-term measurements of ice thickness at the end of the Transpolar Drift provide insight into the integrated signals of thermodynamic and dynamic influences along the pathways of Arctic sea ice. We present an updated time series of extensive ice thickness surveys carried 5 out at the end of the Transpolar Drift between 2001 and 2020. Overall, we see a more than 20% thinning of modal ice thickness since 2001. A comparison with first preliminary results from the international Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) shows that the modal summer thickness of the MOSAiC floe and its wider vicinity are consistent with measurements from previous years.

    Template for Submission of Scientific Information to Describe Areas Meeting Scientific Criteria for Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas Title/Name of the area: Great Siberian Polynya and the the water of New Siberian Islands. Presented by Vassily A. Spiridonov (P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow), Maria V. Gavrilo (National Park “Russian Arctic”, Arkhangel). Abstract (in less than 150 words) The system of polynyas in the Laptev Sea and specific conditions of the waters of New Siberian Islands form ecologically and biologically significant area with medium level of uniqueness, high level of importance for life history stages of key or iconic species, medium level of importance for endangered or threatened species, medium (at the scale of the Arctic) levels of biological productivity and diversity and high vulnerability. Introduction (To include: feature type(s) presented, geographic description, depth range, oceanography, general information data reported, availability of models) Polynyas in the Russian Arctic have been recognized as extremely important for ecosystem processes and maintaining biodiversity (Spiridonov et al, 2011). The IUCN/NRDC Workshop to Identify Areas of Ecological and Biological Significance or Vulnerability in the Arctic Marine Environment (Speer and Laughlin, 2011) identified Super-EBSA 13 “Great Siberian Polynya” that can be divided into two “elementary” EBSA 33 (Great Siberian Polynya proper) and 35 (Waters of New Siberian Islands) (Speers and Laughlin, 2011). The report on identifying Arctic marine areas of heightened ecological significance (AMSA) also revealed these areas (Skjoldal et al., 2012: fig. 7).

  • Hydrographic Society Russia

    Hydrographic Society Russia

    ARTICLE Hydrographic Society Russia 20th Annual General Meeting As in the past, the 2013 AGM took place in April. 60 HSR members and several guests were present. HSR president Nikolay Neronov reported on the Society activities of the past year and he reminded all those present that the HSR has already operated for more than 20 years. It plays a unifying role for those experts and organ​isations for whom the destiny of Russian Hydrography is not indifferent. This was shown by the both scientific and practical conference held in June 2012 and the recent memorial event for general Andrey I. Vilkitsky. The report by the Revision committee was unanimously approved. Then Boris Zolotajkin mentioned the 30th anniversary of the Antarctic expedition by the Soviet oceanographic vessels Admiral Vladimirsky and Faddey Bellinshausen and he handed a gift to the Society - a memorable bronze medal which was was issued in honour of this navigation. Mr. Evgeny G. Drukaryov told briefly about his grand​father hydrographer E.S. Gernet ​(1873-1943) and presented a book about him. Vasily Provorov reported on the lastest events involving HSR participation; the inspection of vessels sunk during the Second World War in the Finish Gulf near Gogland Island. Ratmir Berkutov noted that the three-volume edition of The Annals of the Russian Navy in which he and HSR members Vitaly Korjakin and Sergey Valchuk participated, has been presented the ‘Best Book of the Year’ award by the Association of publishers. Grigory Akulov criticised the HSR Council which, in his opinion, had not started organising a memorable expedition to Severnaya Zemlya, devoted to the 100th nniversary of its discovery.
