ARKHANGELSK, July 30. /TASS/. The current year's first subsidized coastal voyage along the Northern Sea Route from Arkhangelsk will deliver cargo to Chukotka, the Arkhangelsk Region's Governor Alexander Tsybulsky posted on Telegram. The Siyaniye Severa (Radiance of the North) ship will sail to Pevek.
"From the port of Arkhangelsk today will depart a vessel on this year's first subsidized coastal voyage along the Northern Sea Route. The Siyaniye Severa motor ship will sail from Arkhangelsk to Pevek. Onboard are construction materials, equipment, food and essential goods for residents of the Chukotka Autonomous Region," the governor wrote.
Voyages along the Northern Sea Route are subsidized to transport products at discounted sea freight rates, to build sustainable logistics, and to use better the Northern Sea Route's potential. Three voyages from Arkhangelsk have been subsidized since 2023. In the current year, Russia's Ministry for Development of the Far East and Arctic has selected JSC "Northern Shipping Company" as the subsidized transportation's organizer. The company plans to operate at least three subsidized voyages to Pevek between 2026 and 2028 - return voyages between Arkhangelsk and Chukotka.
