Description
Summary:The authors attempt to assess the environmental and economic efficiency of investment projects for the goods transportation by the northern seas of Russia taking into account the relevance of the topic of cargo transportation by means of the “Northern Sea Route” (NSR) and new concept of the digital format of the “Northern Sea Transit Corridor” (NSTC) implemented by the “Rosatom” State Corporation. The structure of import-export and transit traffic by the NSR in 2020 is considered. The goal of the article is to evaluate the efficiency of investment project for the goods transportation forwards and backwards by the NSR from Murmansk city to PetropavlovskKamchatsky city using the example of the “Andrey Osipov” shipping facility. Some indicators were assessed: planned revenue, payback period; NPV, environmental damage. The following results are obtained: the payback period is 10 years; by using the naval fuel oil over a ten-year period, 1101.6 tons of SOx, 143.1 tons of CO2, 288.9 tons of NOx will be emitted. In addition, the authors propose an innovative approach to creation of ships from new materials and technologies based on the modern paradigm of “Accelerated Digital Certification”.
