A chapter in The Northern Sea Route, 2015, pp 123-137 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract To date, most maritime traffic on the Northern Sea Route (NSR) carried bulk goods and commodities (Mietzner, 2015 – this book), and the Russian extractive industry is a major producer of bulk traffic. Hence, future commodity exports (mineral ores, oil, and gas) from the Russian Arctic may increase traffic and transport volume on the NSR. In this chapter, we analyze the extent to which (if any) this may be the case, stratifying documented traffic by route and destination. Finally, we assess probable future developments.
