Abstract
The Northern Sea Route is made up of navigable routes passing through seas of the Arctic Ocean, which, depending on ice conditions, lie within the economic zone, territorial and internal waters of the Russian Federation. Depending on the route chosen, lengths can be from 2,200 up to 2,900 n.m. The primary role of the NSR relates to development of natural resources of the Far North, delivery of cargoes to Northern areas, a reliable linkage of the European part of Russia and the Far East and transit operations from European countries to Pacific countries.
