The Russian government, via state-owned transport company Rosatom, has entered into an agreement with China\u2019s Hainan Yangpu Newnew Shipping to form a new joint venture that will operate container vessels year-round on the Northern Sea Route (NSR).<\/p>\n\n\n

The agreement also calls for the construction of five ice-capable containerships capable of operations in the Arctic, particularly along the 13,000-kilometre-long NSR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The joint venture company will include the ports of Arkhangelsk and Murmansk in its calls due to their potential for handling greater cargo volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partners aim to ship 200 million tonnes of cargo through the NSR by 2031. The longer-term goal is to have 1.8 billion tonnes pass through the route by 2035.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The joint venture is scheduled to be finalised this August with operational sailings to commence shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The establishment of the joint venture is in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s calls for greater shipping traffic passing through the NSR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
