В соответствии с государственной стратегией по освоению северных территорий вопросы, связанные с обеспечением безопасности функционирования Северного морского пути, определяют одно из новых актуальных направлений для проведения научных исследований. Известно, что организация транспортно-технологического процесса в арктическом регионе при наличии тяжелых гидрометеорологических условиях не возможна без новейших систем передачи информационных данных на большие расстояния. В статье приводятся предложения по организации сбора информационных данных с удаленных объектов, расположенных в труднодоступных районах Арктики, для обеспечения нормального функционирования системы управления движением судов в указанном регионе. Для решения задачи осуществления дистанционного мониторинга работоспособности технических средств навигационного оборудования предложено использовать автоматическую передачу данных по радиолиниям метеорной связи, охватывающих всю трассу Северного морского пути. В качестве одного из методов увеличения пропускной способности сети метеорной связи, что дает возможность повысить ее эффективность и одновременно расширить функциональные возможности, рекомендовано применить адаптацию вида манипуляции к уровню мощности сигнала на входе приемного устройства. In accordance with the state strategy of development of Northern territories, the issues related to the safe operation of the Northern sea route define one of the new topical areas for research. It is known that the organization of transport-technological process in the Arctic region in the presence of severe hydrometeorological conditions is not possible without advanced systems of information data transmission over long distances. The article presents suggestions for organizing the collection of information from remote sites located in remote areas of the Arctic to ensure the normal functioning of vessel traffic management in the region. To solve the problem of the remote monitoring of the technical means of navigation performance it is proposed to use automatic data transfer via radio links of meteor communications, covering the whole Northern sea route. As one of the methods for increasing bandwidth capacity network of meteor communications, which gives the opportunity to increase its efficiency and at the same time to extend the functionality, it is recommended to use adaptation of the kind of manipulation to the power level of the input signal of the receiver.

Transport Problems

Арктическая зона в XXI веке становится важнейшим гарантом устойчивого развития Российской Федерации. Вклад Севера в экономику России во многом будет определяться масштабами и темпами развития Арктической транспортной системы. Необходимо расширение коммерческого и научно-исследовательского судоходства, развитие транспортных узлов и коридоров, полярной авиации, грузопассажирских морских полярных перевозок. В этих условиях Россия в целях обеспечения своих геополитических интересов должна постоянно поддерживать активное присутствие в этом регионе. Оно выражается в проведении научных исследований, разведке и добыче полезных ископаемых, обеспечении морских грузоперевозок с использованием ледоколов и специализированных ледокольно-транспортных судов. Этого невозможно достичь без развития уникального атомного ледокольного флота. В настоящее время Россия является мировым лидером в области применения атомного ледокольного флота для решения транспортных задач в морях Арктики и неарктических замерзающих морях. Для успешной конкуренции России необходимо не упускать этого лидерства и постоянно развивать и совершенствовать атомный ледокольный флот как ключевое звено инфраструктуры функционирования Северного морского пути. В статье представлен краткий обзор текущего состояния и перспектив развития атомного ледокольного флота России. Показана определяющая роль атомного ледокольного флота в обеспечении судоходства по трассам Северного морского пути для развития экономики Арктического региона России. The Arctic zone in the XXI century is becoming the most important guarantor of the sustainable development of the Russian Federation. The contribution of the North to the Russian economy will largely be determined by the scale and pace of development of the Arctic Transport System. It is necessary to expand commercial and research shipping, develop transport hubs and corridors, polar aviation, and cargo and passenger sea polar transportation. In these circumstances, Russia must constantly maintain an active presence in this region in order to ensure its geopolitical interests. It is expressed in conducting scientific research, exploration and extraction of minerals, providing sea cargo transportation using icebreakers and specialized icebreaker-transport vessels. This cannot be achieved without the development of a unique nuclear icebreaker fleet. Currently, Russia is a world leader in the use of nuclear-powered icebreaking fleet for solving transport problems in the Arctic seas and non-Arctic freezing seas. For successful competition, Russia must not lose this leadership, constantly develop and improve the nuclear icebreaker fleet as a key link in the infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route. The article provides a brief overview of the current state and prospects for the development of the Russian nuclear icebreaker fleet. The article shows the decisive role of the nuclear icebreaker fleet in ensuring navigation along the Northern Sea Route for the development of the economy of the Arctic region of Russia.

The article considers the influence of economic and political factors on development of the state policy on the Northern Sea Route and its effective use. The success that Russia reached in the foreign policy, has determined the cautiousness or openness of its actions in the Arctic Seas. The article briefly describes the navigational and hydrographical traffic conditions in the Arctic Seas, the dangerous areas for sailing are noted in the text, as well as the new attempts that Russia made to establish navigation in the area. The intense activity in the North Polar Region, including research activity, was determined by economic interests, such as opportunities for maritime trade and transport routes development, as well as political interests, which include defense of own territories and development of new lands. The research is based on valuable sources of information on the North Polar Region, one of which is European and Russian geographical maps of the18th and 19th centuries, which managed to cover many blank spots, that resulted in delineating a clearer Arctic shoreline of Russia. Although the Northern Sea Route could hardly become a major transport channel due to the severe natural conditions, Russia tried to sustain its influence and defend its territories, especially when real threats to its national interests in the Arctic region arose.

The present-day demand for digital availability of distributional data in biodiversity studies requires a special effort in assembling and editing the data otherwise scattered in paper literature and herbarium collections, which can be poorly accessible or little understood to present-day users and especially automatic data processors. Although the vascular plants of Murmansk Region (northern part of European Russia) are well studied and represented in publications, the accessibility of this knowledge is highly insufficient. The most widely known source is the Flora of Murmansk Region (published in 1953–1966), which remains in use because of its high original quality, detailed elaboration and completeness. We consider digitising this source to be of primary importance in biodiversity studies in the Arctic Region because of its point occurrence maps, which were based on the comprehensive inventory of contemporary herbarium collections. We have compiled a dataset based on 554 printed point occurrence maps of species distributions published in the Flora of Murmansk Region, which includes 25,555 records of georeferenced plant occurrences that belong to 1,073 species and 5 hybrids. The occurrences are ultimately based on herbarium specimens kept at KPABG and LE, which were collected during 1837–1965. We estimate that these specimens represent ca. 60% of the current global herbarium holdings originated from Murmansk Region; this means that the dataset gives a fair representation of the regional flora.

The Arctic region, including the Russian Arctic and the Northern Sea Route (NSR), is currently characterized by an increased interest of many countries of the world and international business circles. For Russia the need to develop the Arctic is indisputable, and the NSRis the basis for development of the region. In addition, the region possesses a unique transport and logistics potential. It is believed that in the future it will connect the largest markets in Asia, Europe and North America with maritime transport corridors. Climatic changes and melting of ice are increasingly opening up the NSRfor navigation, and this leads to an increase in the attractiveness of this route. At the national level, the task is todevelop possibilities for turning the NSRinto an international transport corridor, similar to the Suez Canal. However, the transit potential of the NSR is not obvious. The article is aimed to determine the competitive capabilities of the NSRand assessits transit potential in the near future. To achieve the goal, it is necessary to identify strengths and weaknesses when using NSR, to conduct a comparative analysis of the known international routes (the Suez Canal) and this route, and to reveal prospects for the transit potential of the NSR, identifying the most likely potential transit transport participant —China.As a result of the study, it was concluded that in the near future the NSR will not compete with the Suez Canal and other international routes, but will be in demand as a national transport artery for transporting extracted oil and gas resources from the fields in the Arctic part of Russia. As to the transformation of the NSR into an international transport corridor, it will take huge financial and time resources, also Russia may have to sacrifice its strategic and geopolitical interests in the Arctic, which is currently unacceptable.

Special Responsibility

Today Russia implements two different approaches to managing the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The first one entails signaling openness for international cooperation, foreign investments and cargo with the aim to develop the NSR into a globally competitive maritime route. Such approach is evident both from the statements of the high-ranking Russian officials and the strategic documents dedicated to the Arctic region. The other pattern is reflected in Russia’s willingness to impose limitations on foreign shipping on the Route. In addition to the permission-based national regime for navigation on the NSR, since 2018, Russia has ruled out certain maritime activities on the Route carried out by vessels flying non-Russian flags. Further measures for ships built outside Russia, as well as foreign warships, are being discussed. Taken together, these trends could lead to a suggestion that Russia sees the future development of the Northern Sea Route in attracting foreign investments and cargo, but not the vessels. However, additional layer of inconsistency emerges in Moscow’s attempts to justify the harsh national permission-based regime and national measures aimed at limiting foreign shipping on the NSR. The main argument by the Russian authorities is the special responsibility of the coastal state for the safety of navigation and protection of the marine environment. Yet, the practice indicates that the state is sometimes reluctant to keep high environmental and safety standards – both due to the lack of efficient law enforcement mechanisms and possible unwillingness to challenge the economic development of the region. The article concludes with the suggestion that Russia will need to more clearly decide the future course of development for the NSR and adjust the navigation regime and law enforcement mechanisms accordingly.

Ice Conditions

The Arctic plays a key role in the economic development of Russia. This region is fabulously rich with hydrocarbons and biological resources. One of the strategic goals in commercialization of the Arctic region is setting up of efficient transportation systems for year round navigation via the Northern Sea Route (NSR) to support shipment of various cargoes [1]. According to the latest studies, cargo vessels should be able to travel through NSR at speeds reaching 12 knots to make it a commercially competitively route. Highspeed moving can allow NSR to become competitive route as compared to the southbound route via Suez. It should be noted that ice conditions on this route are quite severe. Navigation in NSR of even ice-capable cargo carriers with icebreaker assistance will enable to increase the effectiveness of this shortcut shipping itinerary between Europe and the Pacific coast. For this purpose a novel nuclear Leader icebreaker has been designed, which, according to model tests in the Krylov Centre ice basin, will be able to sail in 2-meter continuous ice at 12 knots. The investigations of ship performance in ice at fast speeds are quite new and should be conducted very carefully. This paper focuses on some specific features of dynamic behaviour predicted for an icebreaker and a large-size vessel led by this icebreaker during speedy sailing in ice. It also discusses other important issues related to minimum power level requirement for vessels operating under these conditions as well as due account of the hydrodynamic resistance component in ice performance predictions.
