Shortcut Between European & Asian Markets
from Rosatomflot
The Eurasian Arctic presents business opportunities for commercial
shipping, oil-gas-mineral exploitation as well as fishing and tourism
This development in the Eurasian Arctic is more realistic than ever before
due to a) sea-ice reduction; b) technological developments; c) interest from
Russia and other Arctic countries; d) and high commodity prices
“Transport of oil, gas and dry bulk cargo from Northern and Western
Europe to Asian markets along the NSR represents potential savings too
large to ignore…”
The Main DriversThe Main Drivers
The Eurasian Arctic – rich in hydrocarbons and mineral resources – has
changed from having a distance disadvantage to having a transport
advantage to the fast growing markets in the Far East during the ice-free
season
