The urgent need to solve environmental problems and meet the needs of people requires finding alternative ways to deliver goods in the most environmentally friendly and safe way. In addition, the climatic changes occurring on our planet open up additional prospects for the use of the Arctic for economic purposes, in particular, the use of the Northern Sea Route for cargo transportation. In the modern world economy, sea cargo transportation accounts for about 80% of all cargo transportation. The main cargo flow is carried out through the Southern Sea Route (SSR), along which goods are transported from Europe to Asia. For quite a long period of time, shipowners and logistics companies did not perceive the Arctic region as an alternative to traffic from Asia to Europe or North America, while navigation in the Arctic was much more than just transport shipping.
