ABSTRACT

The development of Arctic ports was critical for the USSR and is still crucial for the Russian economy on account of its high dependence on oil and gas resources. National production zones are mainly located far from international consumption areas. Recent years have seen numerous projects in the Arctic with foreign direct investments which in turn have led to a consolidation of a new Russian Arctic Port Range. However, if some port and logistics’ achievements seem to be new, most structural project were already planned during the Soviet period. Based on AIS data and academic literature, our analysis aims to highlight the evolution of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) towards a complex infrastructure network with strategic and geopolitics’ purposes.

摘要

北极港口的发展对苏联至关重要，而且由于其对石油和天然气资源的高度依赖，对俄罗斯经济仍然至关重要。国家产区主要远离国际消费区。近年来，在北极地区出现了许多外国直接投资项目，这些项目反过来又导致了新的俄罗斯北极港口范围的整合。然而，如果某些港口和物流的成就看起来是新的，那么大多数结构性项目在苏联时期就已经计划好了。基于 AIS 数据和学术文献，我们的分析旨在突出北海航线 (NSR) 向具有战略和地缘政治目的的复杂基础设施网络的演变。
