How Northern Sea Route Gains Edge Amid Middle East Crisis
Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait could spur the development of the Northern Sea Route (NSR), Alexey Fadeev, professor at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, tells Sputnik.

Russia can ensure security along the route
"The situation in the Middle East has significantly boosted demand for hydrocarbons," Fadeev says. "Today, the NSR is becoming not just a channel for exporting Russian hydrocarbons, but a key shipping route for delivering raw materials to markets—especially in the Asia-Pacific region."
