The transport of natural gas and oil along the Northern Sea Route has seen rapid growth with cargo volume quadrupling between 2015-2018 to nearly 20 million tons. Now a Russian company, Primorsky CPC, aims to bring container shipping to the route and take advantage of the shorter distance between Europe and Asia. Similar to Novatek’s approach of building transshipment hubs on the Kamchatka and Kola peninsulas, Primorsky announced plans for large container terminals along the eastern and western terminus of the NSR.
