EVALUATION OF TRANSPORT FACTOR IMPACT ON DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES IN THE ARCTIC ZONE OF ASIAN RUSSIA
Transport availability of large and unique deposits perspective for development of oil and gas industry and nonferrous metallurgy is considered. The decisive role of Northern Sea Route (NSR) in their development is proved. It is noticed that transport doesn't limit development of northern gas fields while attraction of investors to projects of deposits of nonferrous metals of the Arctic zone of Asian Russia seems to be possible only with the state support of NSR revival and other supportive measures. "Binding" of resource areas development to that of NSR ports and formation of the system of aqua-territorial industrial complexes is suggested.
