Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of innovative transport technologies for the transportation of liquefied natural gas by sea along the Northern Sea Route. The attention of the researchers was directed to the study of innovative mooring technologies in the conditions of the Far North. In the case of cargo transportation of gas along the Northern Sea Route, there is a need for continuous movement in view of the peculiarities of the Arctic Ocean and the danger of icing and stopping the cargo flow. To ensure the continuity of the cargo flow along the Northern Sea Route, it is necessary to provide refueling of sea transport, for this purpose, the introduction of an innovative system of hydraulic magnetic fenders is proposed. The application of this innovative technology consists in the use of electromagnetic equipment for the fender system when bunkering at sea on the “ship to ship” principle and the port harbor instead of the traditional mooring principle. It is used to improve the mooring process several times, which leads to increased economic efficiency and additional safety of crew members, and as an additional means of overcoming the ice barrier, which is a feature of the Northern Sea Route.
Highlights
There are two major sea routes – The Southern Sea Route (SSR) and the Northern Sea Route( NSR), and the most popular in the world of sea transportation until some time ago was the SSR, but the problem of crossing the Suez Canal, associated with the difficulty of uninterrupted movement of cargo ships and high financial costs for transit, puts the NSR in a priority position, creating conditions for the effective development of a new more promising transport route, as well as, as a strategic priority of Russia in the organization of transport cargo flows [2] and, the full development of the Northern Sea Route plays a huge role as a military value
Due to the increased popularity of the NSR water area, the demand for icebreaking services has increased, in this regard, there is a shortage of nuclear icebreakers to accompany the merchant fleet, and the strategic vector for the development and full development of the NSR for the Russian Federation should be formed in increasing this number in order to capture the primacy in international trade using a complex of shipping routes
To improve and facilitate the work of the crew of a transport vessel, increase the economic effect and reduce the risk of injuries during cargo operations at sea on the move or at anchor, our study suggests the use of an innovative system of electromagnetic automatic mooring "Dock Lock" [8]
Summary
There are two major sea routes – The Southern Sea Route (SSR) and the Northern Sea Route( NSR), and the most popular in the world of sea transportation until some time ago was the SSR, but the problem of crossing the Suez Canal, associated with the difficulty of uninterrupted movement of cargo ships and high financial costs for transit, puts the NSR in a priority position, creating conditions for the effective development of a new more promising transport route, as well as, as a strategic priority of Russia in the organization of transport cargo flows [2] and, (due to claims to the maritime territories of the Far North from foreign countries which have rich sources in gas production and big powers), the full development of the Northern Sea Route plays a huge role as a military value. Considering the temperature characteristics of the cargo, the pressure at which LNG is transported, and the low density of the transported cargo, the design of gas carriers is a vessel with a high freeboard and a relatively small draft.
