  2. The Northern Sea Route: Arctic Shipping The Northern Sea Route is the name of a shipping route through Arctic waters that travels from the Kara Sea to the Bering Strait, along Siberia. The entire NSR lies in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Russia and is currently only navigable for approximately two months of the year. " The SS Vega was the first ship to ever navigate what is now known as the Northern Sea Route in the late 1870s. Victor Olerskiy

  3. The SS Vega The SS Vega was the first ship to ever nav- igate what is now known as the Northern Sea Route in the late 1870s. The SS Vega embarked from Sweden in June 1878, spent almost ten months blocked in by ice near the Bering Strait and completed the journey in July 1879. The Northern Sea Route Administration Since 2013, shipping in the NSR has been organised by the Northern Sea Route Ad- ministration, a Russian Federal State Insti- tution. The Administration issues permits for navigation and contributes to the pro- vision of support activities in the region. Arctic Shipping Viability Arctic shipping is becoming more econom- ically viable as the sea ice melts. A Copen- hagen Business School report from 2016 found that Arctic shipping on a large scale will be commercially viable by 2040. Victor Olerskiy
