In October, the export supply of Russian oil from the ports of the Baltic Sea and the North Pole to China via the NSR continued. The launch of Vostok-Oil this year became a key factor in increasing supplies along the eastern direction of the NSR. The use of the Arctic route for supplies from the Baltic Sea makes it possible to reduce the sailing time to China by half (from 51 days from Aust-Luga to Qingdao around the Cape of Good Hope to 27 days via the NSR). Considering piracy in the EU countries and the UK, as well as tensions in the Middle East, even the seasonal use of NSR makes it possible to improve the economics of Russian oil exports from the Northwest and Arctic regions. At the same time, navigation in the Bering Strait will be closed in November and flows will be reset to zero. terminal.
