sharks are already on the northern sea route from cape desire on novaya zemlya to cape dezhnev in chukotka through the five seas of the barents, kara laptev, east siberian and chukotka, this transport corridor is not overloaded, like the suez canal, there is no piracy here, as in the indian ocean, and most importantly - the polar intercontinental route allows you to save the most valuable resource - the time of the journey through the russian arctic almost twice depending on the ice situation, the ship will spend 18 days on this passage, and about 37 days across the mediterranean and red seas

. arktika is the first among equals the lead ship of the latest russian project 22-220 analogues, which in the world has no its capabilities are truly impressive. let 's go back to 190. a polar all-terrain vehicle can pass where others will not be able to work both at sea and in shallow water at the mouths of northern rivers in winter . it seemed impossible here, and already in the spring, he took up duty on the highway in the oka bay, taking into account its capabilities and working with both versatility and power, but we provide, well, the very serious work of the safe operation of gas carriers is being built, like

ice-class ships, but even their capabilities to walk in such extreme conditions icebreakers are not enough, they are able not only to pave the way in high latitudes, but to drive along it, which is called with a breeze of savings and are ready to listen to time and money. on clean water , the giant gas carrier quickly heads west and has to deliver 75,000 tons to france. from liquefied gas, another vessel takes its place. on the contrary, quickly reach the russian port of sabetta to take the cargo. it seems that there is nowhere without icebreakers in axis, but there are exceptions to every rule. the port of murmansk with its ice-free kola bay welcomes and sees off every day ships of high latitudes go many units are ready to do a difficult journey on their own, but the team of this ship is up to the task. all on the way, the

unique nuclear truck is already completely ready for the next flight to the arctic; on its board , building materials and equipment for the oilmen will be delivered from murmansk to the yenisei bay . he became the pinnacle of engineering, a transporter with a reactor plant capable of go anywhere in the world, including artik. it is still in service and ready to deliver cargoes to places where there are no ports. it is securely packed into cargoes in six holds, each of which could easily accommodate the entrance of a five-story building. the ship leaves the kola bay, not a feeling of anxiety, but a feeling, uh -uh, like waiting for some kind of meeting so pleasant, which is the sea, it is already different. and sometimes stormy

sometimes affectionate, but it always requires attention to be respected. roval support is practically not needed due to its special shape, as well as for due to the significant power of mass and inertia, the ship cuts ice like a knife 40,000 horsepower, which is quite a lot. that's how the ship is large . she also has great momentum. that is, respectively, if the ship accelerates. we can easily force ice even 1.5 m thick by space to pave the way in the ice. it turned out to be no easier than flying to the stars, scientists, researchers, sailors. and even adventurers. they fought over this for almost four centuries until the beginning of the 20th century, the northern sea route was called it was proposed to use the northeast passage for the first time in 1525. russian diplomat

dmitry gerasimov light dotted lines along our shores marked russia's main waterway in the arctic the northern sea route in the museum of the arctic and antarctic in st. petersburg provides a detailed chronicle of the study of both poles. this is one of the most unique collections in the world. hercules tea began to be collected more than 90 years ago, and even cans of cabbage soup with meat and porridge for 75 years. these products have lain permafrost. and when they found. e, of course, they tried them and it turned out that they did not lose their e in course qualities for two centuries. defeat the northern ice. expeditions of english, dutch , swedish and, of course, russian sailors tried. the harsh climate did not prevent the researchers from reconnaissance and mapping. everything, the northern coast of

russia, gradually turned into a mighty one. to the state but before the expedition of boris vilkitsky on the icebreaker ships taimyr and vaygach will pass this way entirely, there will be failures eduard tol georgy brusilov vladimir rusanov and hundreds of russian sailors. all of them will disappear without festivals at the cost of their lives, paving the way for other very often polar explorers. e, met with unplanned wintering, that is, zimov is when the ship, but ice and people are forced to survive in the conditions of the polar night, and at that time this most often led to a slow and painful death. over the years, the arctic has not become more hospitable, but negotiating with it from the board of a nuclear- powered ship is much easier, even if it is not an icebreaker from a transporter, so that the sevmor path would confidently walk in its ice and provided a reactor with a revolutionary solution of soviet scientists,

impressed by the power of a peaceful atom in 1988, this is an installation. there are no incidents, no accidents. there was nothing. very reliable attention. the cape of desire passes into the ship, everyone can throw off their old things and make a wish, officially the northern sea route begins here, once upon a time, sailors had a tradition of throwing an old pair of shoes overboard and make wishes, but today we are part of the national park of the russian arctic home of polar bears, which any shoes in the water area do not approve of. work in the arctic is a big responsibility. russia has undertaken to protect the region, by the way, not a small one. the polar possessions of our country occupy 3 million square kilometers, which is 18% of the entire territory. besides

the bear. this is the home of walruses, seals, beluga whales, so as not to disturb the fragile ecosystem of the crew, self-propelled vehicles control absolutely all systems every hour. including those that provide a comfortable life on the ship, the incinerator installation, which will decontaminate water and even treatment facilities, in other words, into the ocean. not reset. nothing all our drains pass through it and we have chosen an environmentally friendly facility. now they are involved in the force of this, there are not enough of them, life requires that there be more more and more in recent years, the volume of cargo transportation by sowing in the sea route has grown by an order of magnitude. basically. these are gas and oil. technological equipment follows and building materials for arctic projects. iron ore concentrate, wood, coal in 2030 on this

route are planned to establish year-round navigation and then the cargo traffic plans to increase to 150 million tons. the next goal is the international transport corridor. china , india and other asian countries are already showing particular interest in it, we will first carry our cargo on it, then everyone will catch up. this is very beneficial. imagine that u sea route uh, roughly from europe uh, for example, in china it takes almost 8,000 miles there, about five times more than morty the benefit of a large export of hydrocarbons cannot be stopped directly depends on them, the well-being of the country, if europe refuses russian oil and gas, the flow will be redirected to asia the efficiency of the european economy, especially, i am sure, will largely depend and now depends exactly from the

cost of our energy resources. well, no doubt , it also depends on the cost of goods that come from china. therefore, for today, uh, our nuclear icebreaker fleet, which will make up the rosatom corporation. we we are fulfilling this main task to ensure. uh, good efficient access to our products in the pacific market, the second stage has already been asked about the transit opportunities of the project, which provide the cargo flow of the company of the russian fuel and energy complex. for one of them, everyone has an urgent delivery on the way. at the final stage of the ship's journey, the most difficult one awaits. it can be said that the jeweler, according to the technique of work, stand on pripy, as the mayors call the coastal ice, so that the approaching car could pick up the cargo directly from board, such an operation requires the highest level of skill; not the exact movement of the hull and the platform

on which the unloading is to turn into a mess. the crew on board and the hydrologists of the sold work smoothly ; consider that we are not usually in a port only in ledovoy in such a cargo area on the ledovoy 2/3 of the crew. and there are no more than 30 people involved in unloading dockers in the arctic , so all the work in such an ice port is taken over by the sevmor way team, they need both you can complete the delivery faster to take a new order ahead of the next flight. and we have a new journey to work in the latitudes, it's time to take a look from the board of the newest russian icebreaker sibir in the absence of a station to and ports, in the usual sense, transferring from one ship to another is already a whole adventure. but even with one suitcase you won’t go far to let us down

, hydrologists agree on snowmobiles and sleds, we advance to where the ice highway passes. that's why we won't go on foot. more snow here half a meter into the yenisei until the river opens, icebreakers are laying a channel along it, as ships are moving along the road. we just have to wait for the right one, where, if not in the russian arctic, you can stand in the middle of nothing snowy and wait for an icebreaker passing by to pick you up, siberia finally appears on its board, work awaits us, but first we have to climb this board. it's not just a cage, it's an elevator. the main thing is to keep your luggage tight. well, it is advisable not to look down on such transfers in the arctic for crews. the usual thing is rotation, in during the year is inevitable, and it is not always possible to enter the port, if we are not talking about replacing the entire team, then it is easier to deliver several people faster on a passing one. directly under the side of the icebreaker, so that they immediately get involved in the work, the first thing we

do on the icebreaker is turn the clock hands. in that yes, in such as everything in the sea way, the time here is local. this is convenient in terms of entering ports, loading and unloading. but icebreakers, no matter what time zone they are in, their crew always live and work strictly in moscow siberia the heir to the soviet icebreaker of the same name, like the elder brother of the arctic, it is the largest powerful and versatile in the world, it went on its first voyage only this winter, the giant was the result of many years of work by hundreds of people and a collection of the most advanced technologies. this call turned out good. well, since i worked for almost everyone, except for this myra, and hot. uh, each new series with us is getting better and better and passed and more powerful and working

in siberia and the pleasure of captain oleg considering, well, there really is something to compare 30 years on in the fleet in different years he worked on the icebreakers of the previous generation artik and russia was the captain of the nuclear- powered ships 50 years of pobedy captain with a sufficient crew of the lead ship project 22-220. and now siberia is leading the first voyage. the first test for the icebreaker was an eight-point storm near the north cape during the passage from st. petersburg to its home port, murmansk hulk. siberia easily withstood the onslaught of the elements, but in high latitudes the arctic itself is testing its strength, right now it’s good here. oh look, look. by spring even there are endless ice fields on the western section of the northern sea route, but the ship passes them without even losing them. the speed of siberia is called not only the

largest, but also the most powerful icebreaker in the world. it easily withstands the tests of the arctic and right now breaks one and a half meter ice to this giant in the teeth and three-meter food, the icebreaker has a huge power reserve. and all thanks to two reactors, the rhythm 200 nuclear power plant created a design need especially for nuclear-powered ships of the new project. caused by limitation sizes in view of the fact that the icebreaker is two sedimentary , it is necessary to have just tanks, which could be pumped with water to change the draft to this, so there were strict size requirements. the compactness of the reactor fully justified itself . along with other projects, features. this made the new chimneys universal due to variable draft. they can work both at sea and at the mouth of the rivers, so siberia is so confidently moving along the yenisei route dudinka kara gates the

task of the crew is to quickly and safely take out the transport vessel taimyr is 770 not the easiest miles ahead of clear water, but the icebreaker has already shown itself to be a reliable machine; the equipment on the icebreaker has a lot to cover it with one system and it doesn’t work out they are divided into several groups and control is constantly going on, where we can observe all the output . everybody. well, we see failures of all equipment right now absolutely every now, whether there is a malfunction of a sensor of some flow meter or a failure temperature sensor. and this engine is all this is displayed. here on the screen, a modern russian icebreaker is, in fact, a giant computer, the introduction of digital technologies has made it possible to achieve impressive optimization, the nuclear-powered ship has become larger. but the crew is smaller. if earlier

more than a hundred people worked on such ships, today only 54 people tell about this the chief engineer. oleg pitonchenko the level of automation of all e technological processes at the installation lowering mechanisms, stopping a-a, therefore, unlike e-species in previous generations. here, uh, one person is enough. all uh processes are controlled and managed from the control center. and the modern icebreakers arktika and siberia are actually single-industry towns, of course with their own microclimate, when in summer it’s no more than plus ten, and in winter it’s comfortable plus 22 inside -50, life and work here are subject to a strict schedule, but the crew spends their free time on their own discretion to keep fit on the icebreakers there are gyms, gyms and athletics swimming pool, sauna and even a solarium. well, here we have a solarium

here you can get radiation to the body ultraviolet rays, that it will allow you to replenish your body with vitamin d, which is lacking here is not a luxury, but a necessity. icebreaker crews work in latitudes where the night lasts for several months, so sunbathing is prescribed by the ship's doctor. operational x-rays of the ecg biolaboratory. in addition, the ship's doctor not only monitors the well-being of the crew, but can, if necessary, provide emergency assistance on the shore, settlements on the coast. arctic doctors. there is not always, if the icebreaker is within reach, uh, then we respond, of course, with a distress signal. and of course. uh, helping to eat a little bit of everything and you also face a lot of different health problems in people.

for the sake of such a salad, ivan melnikov cuts about 5 kg of vegetables for proper three meals a day , the team of cooks is responsible for the diet of the team should always be cereals, vegetables and fruits, the most important thing is the balance of vitamins in the body, because here in the sea. vitamins disappear very quickly. the beauty of fresh bread is always on board. if we imagine that this house is the superstructure of the icebreaker, then the galley is located two floors below the dining room, in order to deliver ready-made meals , a special elevator with a carrying capacity of 50 kg works, but fresh products are brought to the icebreaker here, entering the ports. the nuclear-powered ship itself can operate autonomously for up to 7 years, if the crew is changed and provisions are delivered on time. the appearance of a powerful icebreaking

group was partly a historically forced decision, but it was it that gave impetus to an intensive development of the entire arctic region today without a nuclear icebreaker fleet. logistics at high latitudes is simply impossible. and although, for the time being, it provides, for the most part, not transit cargo, but the export of products from arctic investment projects, work is already loaded to capacity in the western sector of traffic in terms of intensity is not inferior to road traffic at rush hour. the northern sea route, as in the palm of your hand, is more than 5,000 km, and all the ships, where are they now? but, a on this interactive map, we can just see where our most modern icebreakers arktika work, and here it is siberia in murmansk, the headquarters of maritime operations provides pilotage of vessels

, develops routes and approves the deployment of the icebreaker fleet. since the traffic intensity is constantly growing, they work 24/7 , projects in the north are developing in the arctic, large long-term projects are developing here, uh, contracts with these projects are also long-term there until the fortieth year, so at the moment there are no stops. no, it’s just that, on the contrary, even an icebreaker is not enough, but this project is being actively developed and the icebreakers are asking, please, let’s, let’s, therefore , we really need construction. petersburg at the baltic shipyard right now they continue to build three more universal nuclear icebreakers. at one of them, the urals have already launched a second nuclear reactor at the end of summer, the ship will have its own crew and sea trials will begin in the gulf of finland. and on the north highway. it will be released in the next

autumn-winter navigation. yakutia will be ready for 2024. and chukotka plans to transfer it to the atomflot in 2026, the sanctions war launched against russia on the development of the icebreaker fleet is unlikely to be affected by nuclear reactors, turbo-generators, electric motors and even oxen, to which rotation is transmitted, they are made in russia in the construction of nuclear-powered ships. we are practically independent of foreign manufacturers in terms of money, 92% are russian. but today we are these 8% thanks to the ministry of industry and trade, we are actively dealing with issues of localization, of course, within the country, but taking into account the krylov scientific center, its main this part of the institute is a central research institute with udovo electrical engineering. uh, the volume of already purchased

equipment and the pace of localization that we see today. i believe that we will provide icebreakers, and these new icebreakers in the waters of the northern sea route will be very good. do not wait all-terrain vehicles work without a minute of downtime. so siberia is finishing the wiring of the transporter taimyr and immediately takes a new ship to the pipe. today is our jubilee ship, 25 thanks to these newest icebreakers. russian positions in the arctic are becoming not just stable, completely unattainable for competitor countries. and no sanctions can change this. for several centuries, mankind has been looking for a short way between the oceans that can spur global economic development. today, russia is reserving this polar route and is ready to defend its interests. despite global warming, the political climate seems to be waiting for a new

ice age that can systematically affect the world economy, when the usual supply chains are broken, miracles have to be performed navigation dozens of countries today are closely watching all the undercurrents. in search of new routes, obviously, interest in the arctic region will only grow, but i always like to say that everything is marcus, if you read historically different tasks, who else during the time of ivan iii was the first attempt to make their own russian road in india but for us, consider the markets pacific ocean and the significance of this task. i think number one means that the northern sea route is on the next historical stage of development, and with it russian nuclear fleet. now the newest icebreaker. it is necessary to pave the way here to ensure the work of polar stations for geological exploration and scientific expeditions, continuing the
