Abstract
The steady operation of the Northern Sea Route is based on large icebreakers, which ensure access to various Russian regions through the navigable Arctic. Some nuclear-powered icebreakers built as far back as the Soviet era need to be replaced. Up to now, it hasn’t been clear how the icebreaker fleet will be used to make the Northern Sea Route operate more efficiently. It is also not clear whether Russia’s authorities will permit independent navigation by commercial icebreaking carriers without convoys escorted by icebreakers.
