Sputnik News, St. Petersburg, April 2 — Russian Deputy Prime Minister Savelyev said at the plenary session of the International Transport and Logistics Forum that, in the context of new global conflicts, the Northern Sea Route is becoming one of the safe and efficient corridors.
Russian Deputy Minister of Transport Poshvay said on April 1 that the Middle East conflict has triggered changes in the global logistics landscape, creating opportunities for developing the Northern Sea Route.
President Putin previously stated that Russia would enhance the navigation safety of the Northern Sea Route and the entire Arctic transit corridor. Russian Transport Minister Nikitin said in March that the Northern Sea Route could serve as a good maritime alternative to the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz.
The Arctic transit corridor is part of the national project "Great Northern Sea Route," which will run from St. Petersburg through Murmansk to Vladivostok.

President Putin said on March 31 that Russia would improve the shipping safety of the Northern Sea Route and the entire Arctic transit corridor. Russian Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin said in March that the Northern Sea Route is not only a good maritime alternative to the Suez Canal but also to the Strait of Hormuz.
