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.
