This pass is part of an investment project for the construction of a deep-water port center near the town of Naiba. The new measures are designed to help develop the Northern Sea Route as a whole and increase the cargo turnover of a particular port, which, according to experts, can reach around 30 million tons per year.
Other advantages of the project, which are noted separately in the official statement: the creation of new jobs, an increase in transshipment capacity and the fight against the pressure of external sanctions.
