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.

Crime groups are increasingly working with public officials in Russia at the regional, and local levels, making it difficult for those seeking to enact and enforce laws combating organized crime, according to many of the criminologists who participated in a conference addressing organized crime hosted by Yaroslavl State University and sponsored by TraCCC, with support from the US Department of Justice on 20-21 January. The current laws on organized crime are largely a result of Russia's inability to deal with this problem, according to Natalia Lopashenko, head of the TraCCC program in Saratov. Almost the only area of agreement among the scholars, law enforcement agents, and judges was that the level of organized crime is rising. Figures from the Interior Ministry suggest that the number of economic crimes, in particular, is shooting upward.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 22 IAHR International Symposium on Ice Floating Ice Induced Ship Casualties
    22nd IAHR International Symposium on Ice Singapore, August 11 to 15, 2014 Floating Ice Induced Ship Casualties Nataliya Marchenko The University Centre in Svalbard, Longyearbyen, Norway State Oceanographical Institute, Moscow, Russia Postbox 156. Longyearbyen N-9171, UNIS [email protected] It is very important to analyze sea-ice-induced ship casualties because transport activity at high latitudes is growing. A significant search is underway for an Arctic alternative to the southern (Suez) route from Europe to Asia. However, despite global warming and forecasts of an ice-free Arctic, ice conditions are still rather difficult. The Vilkitsky Strait was closed by ice for almost the entire navigation season 2013. Several accidents occurred, including the rupture of a tanker by an ice floe, nipping and overwintering last year. The frequency of ship casualties in the Polar regions is much smaller than in the world ocean. But due to a low self-purification capacity of Arctic and Antarctic nature and harsh weather conditions, we should try to avoid any type of failure and minimize the risks involved. An analysis of ship accidents caused by sea ice in the Russian Arctic over the previous century (Marchenko, 2012) shows that a majority of casualties were related to floating ice. In significant number of cases, the accidents could be avoided if captains took into consideration sea ice properties, distinguished between “strong ice” (multiyear ice, icebergs) and “soft” first year ice. In this article, several cases on serious casualties with floating ice are presented. These cases include incidents with holing of the icebreaker Admiral Lazarev (1965, East Siberian Sea), the cruise ship Maxim Gorkiy (1989, Greenland Sea) and the tanker Nordvik (2013, Kara Sea); sinking of the adventure vessel Explorer (2007, South Ocean) and freighter Nina Sagaydak (1983, Chukchi Sea), nipping and drift of several vessels in Okhotsk Sea (2010-2011, 2013-14,) and Akademik Shokalskiy (2013-14, South Ocean).
