| Summary: | Abstract The problems of managing the Arctic transport system are considered. Particular attention is paid to the development of Arctic shelf deposits, as well as to the challenges and risks associated with the extreme conditions of transportation of hydrocarbon raw materials. Certain volumes of cargo transportation via the NSR have positive dynamics, which determines the encouraging results and allows us to develop strategic plans for the extraction of hydrocarbons and the delivery of finished products. The main promising directions for the development of sea transportation of hydrocarbons in the waters of the Northern Sea Route are outlined. Certain prospects for the development of Arctic oil and gas resources are identified. It is shown that an increase in the number of freight vehicles in the water areas of marine transport corridors in the near future will be associated with an increase in the turnover of ports and terminals. The main directions of improving the Arctic fleet and technological updates of the port infrastructure to ensure the development of hydrocarbon deposits in the Arctic seas are substantiated. The introduction in this area of the most important innovative methods for the development of the oil and gas sector is a full-scale implementation of transport and transit traffic, primarily in order to improve the system of internal corridors passing through the NSR under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation. The directions of improving and increasing the efficiency of operation of the Arctic transport system are proposed. |
