Containership Sevmorput will be deployed for the first phase of the NSR coastal line operation

In 2022, Rosatom plans up to three voyages of containership Sevmorput on the Northern Sea Route’s coastal line between Saint-Petersburg and Vladivostok, Maksim Kulinko, Deputy Head of Rosatom’s Northern Sea Route Directorate, said in his interview with IAA PortNews.

“RUB 560 million has been allocated to finance this project in 2022”, Maksim Kulinko told PortNews-TV.

By 2030, Rosatom expects the coastal line to carry about 10 million tonnes of cargo annually.
