Bătălia pentru Arctica - Exporturile de petrol ale Rusiei via ruta arctică au explodat în acest an - Economica.net

Russia's Arctic oil exports have surged by nearly 50% this year, with around 20 million barrels shipped to Asia since July. The Arctic route, starting from Murmansk to the Bering Strait, is becoming increasingly viable due to climate change reducing ice levels. This route has gained attractiveness amid disruptions in traditional shipping lanes like the Suez Canal and the Black Sea. High tanker rental rates, driven by geopolitical tensions, have made Arctic shipping more cost-effective compared to conventional routes. Gazprom Neft plans to increase its Arctic shipments by 35% this year, and overall, Russia anticipates a doubling of cargo volumes transported via this route by the end of the decade.
