Arctic seaports bustle as shipping on Northern Sea Route reaches new high
A record-beating 9.74 million tons of goods were transported on the Russia's Arctic shipping routes in 2017. That resulted in a very good year for Murmansk and several other north Russian ports.
Figures from the Association of Russian Sea Ports show that the Russian Arctic seaports in 2017 handled a total of 74.2 million tons, an increase of 49.1 percent compared with 2016. The growth is rooted in a major general hike in Russian Arctic shipments.
