Изложены возможности и особенности использования в Арктической зоне России сети метеорной связи, которую целесообразно применить в целях обеспечения безопасности функционирования объектов транспортной инфраструктуры Северного морского пути, что способствует повышению экономической эффективности в целом всего морского транспортно-технологического процесса, а также для обеспечения безопасности судоходства в указанном регионе с учетом специфики распространения УКВ-радиосигналов и больших расстояний между объектами. Представлена временная диаграмма, характеризующая процесс функционирования радиолинии метеорной связи, соответственно, для оценки прерывистости связи предлагается использовать специальный параметр под названием коэффициент использования радиолинии. Показано, что для обеспечения энергетического контакта необходимой длительности между удаленными ведущими и ведомыми станциями метеорной связи в качестве пассивного ретранслятора может насыщенный метеорный след, способный обеспечить требуемую устойчивую связь, удовлетворяющей заданным требованиям по защите информации и по вероятности ошибочного приема ложных знаков с сохранением целостности сообщений при условии прерывистости энергетических контактов между корреспондентами. This paper describes the possibilities and features of using the meteor communication network in the Arctic zone of Russia. It is advisable to use this meteor communication network in order to ensure the safety of the transport infrastructure of the Northern sea route. This contributes to the overall economic efficiency of the entire Maritime transport and technological process. Also, it is appropriate to ensure the safety of navigation in the region, taking into account the specifics of the propagation of VHF radio signals and long distances between the objects. A timing diagram characterizing the operation of the meteor radio link is presented, so it is proposed to use a special parameter called the radio link utilization factor to estimate communication discontinuity. It has been shown that a saturated meteor trail can be used as a passive repeater to provide energy contact of the desired duration between the remote leading and trailing meteor communication stations. This is capable to provide the required stable communication that meets the specified data protection requirements. And it is also urgent for the probability of erroneous false signs reception with preservation of messages integrity under condition of energy contacts discontinuity between correspondents.

In this paper, the prospects for the transport infrastructure of the Arctic and the Far North were considered. The transport system of the Arctic and the Far North consists of the Northern Sea Route, and also includes river, rail and road components, including coastal infrastructure.The transport infrastructure of the Russian Arctic has a rather weak level of transport development and uneven development. The main element of the transport system in the Arctic is the Northern Sea Route. It is the Northern Sea Route that should become one of the world’s main logistics routes in the near future. The development of the transport infrastructure of the Arctic and the Far North is influenced by the maximum natural conditions and climate. Due to the fact that the Arctic is rich in a large amount of natural resources, it is one of the demanded issues of our country. To develop the transport infrastructure of the Arctic and the Far North, it is necessary to reconstruct the existing port infrastructure, as well as to build new port production complexes in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The main task in the development of the transport infrastructure of the Arctic and the Far North is the creation of a unified transport system and the modernization of its infrastructure.

Two Sectors

The issues of the Russian Arctic development are considered in the paper. The authors study the trends and factors in the formation of the Arctic transportation. The subsoil use is researched as an industry that stimulates the active development of the Arctic at the present stage. The analysis of the interdependence of the two sectors of the economy is carried out as well as the reasons for their integration are substantiated. The authors consider government incentives for investment in the Arctic. The article discusses the reasons why it is still not possible to use the resource potential of the Arctic to its full capacity. According to the authors, the transport infrastructure does not meet the needs of investment. They suppose that an obstacle to the further inclusion of the Russian Arctic in an active economic turnover is the delay in the construction of the infrastructure to support the Northern Sea Route: ports, icebreakers and rescue vessels. A breakthrough in transportation is required for further successful implementation of investment projects for the extraction of hydrocarbons and other minerals. Therefore, the development of the Arctic should be considered only in the context of the integration of subsoil use and transportation. In conclusion, the authors outline the main tasks that the state needs to solve for the Arctic policy implementation.

Research objective: studies of economic and transport infrastructure development in the Arctic and Northern Territories of Russia. Research methodology: analysis of transport infrastructure in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the types of railways used in Russia. Results: economic development of any region is proportional to the development of the road transport infrastructure and logistics. When a conventional railway is operated in the Arctic conditions, it is not always possible to maintain a cargo turnover that would ensure its efficient use, and transshipment from one mode of transport to another is very problematic. A new type of railway is proposed, i.e. a light railway. Conclusions: the proposed new type of transport offers all the main advantages of narrow gauge railroads (high speed of construction, efficiency, etc.) and helps to eliminate their main disadvantage, i.e. the need for transloading when moving from a narrow gauge to the conventional one with the width of 1520 mm, along with a significant reduction in capital costs.

Simplified Procedure

The article is devoted to the analysis of the role of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) in the socio-economic development of the Arctic zone of Russia. The authors believe that climate change, gradually leading to the melting of polar ice, opens up new opportunities for the development of Arctic resources and navigation in the seas of the Arctic Ocean. Of particular interest to the NSR are non-Arctic countries, critically dependent on the supply of foreign mineral and carbon resources, as well as on the export of their goods to Europe. Among them, China stands out, considering the NSR as the Arctic Blue Economic Corridor as part of the global Silk Road system. The NSR is intended to become an essential tool for further development of the Arctic zone of Russia. Development of port infrastructure and creation of a modern ocean and maritime fleet will accelerate the pace of socio-economic development of this strategically important region. To do this, it is necessary to adopt a federal law on special system of preferences for investors, including foreign ones, implementing their projects in the Arctic. Among such preferences there are preferential profit tax rates, reduction in Mineral Extraction Tax (MET) rates, a declarative procedure for VAT refunds, a simplified procedure for granting land plots and unchanged conditions for the implementation of investment projects. In addition, it is important to make the NSR safe and profitable both in terms of quality of service and of price for the shippers. In particular, the payment for icebreakers’ escort of vessels should be competitive and reasonable. The largest Russian private and state-owned companies should be involved into Arctic projects. It is important to synchronize the Arctic oil and gas projects with nuclear and LNG icebreakers’ construction, as well as with the launch of two logistics hubs in Murmansk and Kamchatka. In this case, year-round NSR navigation will be organized, which will ensure the high competitiveness of Russian products supplied to the Asian Pacific markets.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the profitability of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) as a shipping lane from the financial perspective of shipping companies under post 2020 sulphur regulations.Design/methodology/approachThis study develops profit estimation model, and the profitability of the NSR is assessed for a Handymax Medium Range (MR) tanker vessel using scenarios in combination with spot market earning levels, the regulation compliance method and destination ports. The required freight rates are calculated to justify the decision of shipowners to transit a tanker from the Baltic spot market to the NSR navigation.FindingsResults suggest that the required freight rates from the Arctic trade to justify the transit to the NSR are higher than the actual agreed rates in the past, which implies low viability of the NSR as a regular shipping lane. It was also found that the required freight rates are affected by the spot market earning levels, compliance method and duration of the voyage.Research limitations/implicationsThis study takes a new approach on assessing the NSR viability by comprehensively assessing the annual profitability and including the spot market trade as an opportunity cost for the NSR shipping. Despite various scenarios used in this study, a sensitivity analysis would be useful for future research.Practical implicationsThis study suggests how much freight rates a shipping company would need to charge if it were to offer tanker shipping services to four major Asian ports while simultaneously operating at the Baltic Sea during the remainder of the year.Originality/valueThis study adopts a market-oriented approach by incorporating both earnings and costs (including opportunity costs) in the profitability model rather than merely analyzing the total cost of shipping via the NSR. This study also analyzes impact of IMO 2020 Sulphur regulation on the NSR profitability.

The analysis of the state and prospects for the development of the mineral resource base of the Vorkuta region of the Komi Republic, belonging to the Arctic zone, was carried out. It is shown that the coking coal deposits of the Pechora basin, the development of which is the basis for the existence of the city of Vorkuta, were and still are the most impor-tant ones. The reserves of coking coal are significant, however, the supply of them to operating mining enterprises is becoming more and more limited. To maintain and develop coal mining, it is necessary to build new mines. Along with the coal deposits, the Vorkuta region is of great interest in relation to other minerals. In the Kosyu-Rogovsk and Koro-taikha depressions, there are potential oil and gas-bearing structures, on the western slope of the Polar Urals – barite deposits, gold, chromium and copper occurrences, deserving further geological study and prospecting works. For a more complete disclosure and development of the mineral resource potential of the Vorkuta region, the extension of transport infrastructure is of great importance. The implementation of plans for the construction of railways, access to the Northern Sea Route, can contribute, in particular, to increasing the volume of coal production and wider supplies of coal using sea transport, and raising the investment attractiveness of the Arctic territories.

Starting from the mid 2000-s the increase of sustained development of the Russian Arctic is observed, in many cases the technologies using the ice cover as an infrastructure element and the ice as the construction materials are used. In the present time the different approaches of use of natural and artificial ice for applied tasks on the Arctic offshore exist. For example, the clearance of the upper surface of ice from snow and ridges is used for the purposes of the vessel unloading on the fast ice or constructing the airstrips on the drifting ice cover. In case of insufficient thickness of the level ice the latter is increased by the means of preliminary freezing (natural on the bottom side of ice and artificial by pouring the fresh or saline water on the upper surface). By constructing the artificial ice islands the ice body is made by spraying the sea water with the partial freezing of the water drops in the air and further freezing of the 2-phase elements (i.e. ice crystals in the liquid film) on the surface of the ice cover. The problem of cracks in the ice cover is solved by different means according to the proper task. When it is possible, the cracks are “healed”— i.e. are filled with the snow and ice gravel and then freezed. In case of impossibility of use of such method (for example — presence of tidal cracks or relatively high air temperature) the cracks are overlapped with the help of different covers made of different materials and of different sizes. The promising trend of ice technology is involving the reinforced or composite ice, having the increased strength, into the ice engineering practice. By unloading the cargo ships on the fast ice the ice strength is decreased locally for the purpose of easy berthing of the vessel with safekeeping the original strength of the surrounding ice for the aims of the vessel unloading. This problem is solved by creating the system of notches in the ice cover according to the vessel dimensions. The specialized hydrometeorological support on every stage of the ice engineering operation is an essential element of the ice engineering activities on the ice cover of lakes, rivers and seas.

Today due to global climate change the Northern Sea Route is being formed along the northern coast of Russia as a new international maritime passage in the Arctic. Due to the rapid increase in the interest of regional and non-Arctic states, the scientific community and business to this transportation route, there is a need to study the prospects for cooperation between Russia and other countries on the development of the Northern Sea Route. The paper provides a detailed analysis of the interests of external players in the NSR area, taking into account the latest changes and events, while the author uses swot-analysis and a comparative analytical approach to conduct the study. The results of the study have shown that cooperation with some Arctic countries on the development of the NSR could bring mutual benefits: Canada and Russia would exchange experience on the development of similar sea routes, and Norway and Iceland would receive advantages as hubs on new routes. Non-regional countries, such as China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore and India, are interested in the NSR. For them, the Northern Sea Route is potentially shorter and safer compared to traditional routes, and it also allows to participate in projects located near its water area in science, energy and transport sectors. In turn, the participation of foreign partners is important for Russia, since it is usually accompanied by the active use of the route, the creation of large projects throughout its entire length, the attraction of serious funds, modern technologies and knowledge to the Arctic zone of the country.
