Ironically that means that the transport industry will become greener as ships only need to travel a fraction of the distance they do today.
Yep, the global warming opened a more fuel efficiency and environmentally friendly route. Canada might experience the same thing in their Northwest Passage. ruclips.net/video/ZcDwtO4RWmo/видео.html
The global shipping industry only makes up 2-3 percent of annual global carbon emissions, so the effect won't be huge.
@@martianbuilder5945 2% here, 3% there... and at the end we have big impact.
@@martianbuilder5945 Shipping is also the most efficient form of intercontinental freight transport, largely due to the ships' sheer payload capacity.
@@martianbuilder5945 yeah the biggest contributors are factories or construction, those have a purpose, the biggest contributors is methane from cows and cars... Governments are in actuality very green compared to their citizens
A great geopolitical advantage is that no other foreign power can control this shipping route just like they can along the Mediterranean Sea or the Indian Ocean. Not only its a game changer for Russia but also a lifeline for China as well.
Well, sort of. It's pretty damn easy for the US navy to blockade the route if it comes to it.
@@dadthelad I hope it doesn't come to that.
@@louisaccardi2268 Yeah, a China vs US war would be terrifying. It seems to be coming though. But hopefully, if there is a change in world order, it is peaceful, and gentle.

The melting of ice in the north pole will give Russia such a strategic advantage that it has never seen before, and this modern-day Russian silk road is just the beginning. Especially since almost none of Russia's major cities are on the coast, compared to the huge western cities that will get absolutely destroyed by rising sea levels. Russia would most likely be the only country to benefit from all the ice in the world melting. Due to many things such as the northern regions of the world becoming the more ideal temperature for life, which Russia controls most of. This will bring so many migrants into Russia that it could finally become a global superpower.
Many will say Russia will not benefit due to the war, but that's far from the truth. Pretty much every emerging economy is located in Africa, with these countries typically wanting to cut ties with their colonizers (the west). As soon to be the strongest country in the world, China depends heavily on Russia, so Russia is in the best position for the future of humanity.
That's why we had ironical political party in the 90s, called *subtropical russia*, that wanted +20C full year :)
La nuova rotta commerciale....senza essere più attaccati dai PIRATI. Euroamericani...
Go to your kitchen, fill up a glass with water and ice. Watch it melt. Does the glass overflow? NO!
Don't you feel silly falling for the "melting icecap rising sealevel" ruse? Still not convinced? Put a bunch of ten pound ice blocks in a swimming pool and watch it melt.....no pool overflow! DANG! Ice is full of nitrogen and displaces more space than water! Sea level drops if caps melt!
@@jamesshirley7194I suppose the idea is that the ice is located in one place and when it melts it will be distributed across the planet. Imagine you have an iceberg of 2 meters in the middle of the pool, which has melted. Will the pool level rise? Most probably yes. Not sure what case yours or mine is applicable in reality. In fact the volume of water is less than of ice as the ice density is less than water
The way I've heard it is that the sea levels will rise because as the temperature of the water goes up it expands.
Also the ice is fresh water adding to a sea of salt water, maybe there's something in that as well.🤔@@jamesshirley7194
A major added bonus for Russia is that this route will open up it's main rivers to inland navigation. Most of it's rivers flow North, towards the largely inaccessible Arctic Ocean. Throughout most of Russia's history this meant a big competitive disadvantage compared to the rest of Europe, which is connected to the Atlantic Ocean, bringing direct shipping routes from major cities to the whole world.
We are definitely turning a new focus to the arctic. Just, we are not focusing on trade, instead we are trying to militarize it. Because we are complete idiots. After all, we are the only country on the face of the planet that is maintaining an offensive military during a time of global peace. Again, we are complete idiots.
Very good point. And those are massive(!) rivers comparable to Amazon or Nile like Ob', Lena, Yenisey etc., which most probably connect many Siberian and far-east cities to maritime routes.
@Ice Bear He is talking about the U$. Obviously.
Love when a comment is sometimes better than the video itself - thanks for the extra info! ;)
great point. have to wonder if it will have a demographic effect similar to what Erie Canal had on midwest USA.
the effect on oil prices in an era when(?) we are allegedly(?) moving away from oil use's negative side effects will be interesting. northern Russia will have huge oil, coal + mineral resources. most important in 20yrs may be drinking water.
at what point will drinking water be as valuable an export commodity as oil, grains,etc are now?
It completely blows my mind seeing this level of development. I am shocked at what humans are capable of doing.
Yeah, russian make good animations, wait 100 years to check how it is trying to work :D
im shocked at how utterly stupld humanity has become
I've said it before, Russia dominates The Arctic. No other countries have as much developed in every way possible. Can say whatever against it all, just blowing hot air, and what all concerned with otherwise? Military Industrial Complex in Ukraine and social engineering agenda. That seems so small and unimportant compared with this project, and how many trillions more in debt to even try to do anything like that. Russia doesn't waste time and thieve money anywhere, no matter if have billionaires. This is a project that seriously increases their national wealth.

Another interesting aspect in the development of the Russian north is floating nuclear power plants. Due to the remoteness of the northern coast from the most populated and industrially developed areas, there are certain problems with electricity supply. And one of the solutions is floating nuclear power plants, which make it possible to deliver a nuclear reactor to a remote place across the sea and supply electricity to tens of thousands of people. One such reactor is already operating in the northernmost city of Russia - in Pevek.
as someone else said, Russian's are best at creating technology to survive extremes
Yes,the one good thing Russia and for that matter China does, they intelligently use nuclear but only because it is so cheap, they want more pollution to melt the Arctic.

Fascinating, I never knew about all these developments. This RUclips channel is one of the best. With such an enormous cut in shipping times it will become the dominant route for shipping from the far east. It puts a different spin on the current trade embargos against Russia. and explains why some nations are ignoring them.
Media is just crap for years, the agenda is crap for years in UK, the etc. It is hardly to find useful news now.
Ice: melts
Russia: its free real estate

People who will say that this will be a dead project because no one will use oil in 20 years let me tell you oil is not just needed for vehicles and electricity it is a crucial material in production of many goods so this project will be nothing but a boon to Russia
Even if we ignore the Oil, building ports and etc will still benefit Russia in the long run even if the export is not Oil.
It will be very cheap, it won't be worth drilling.

Preparation towards future road mapping in Arctic joining New Silk road to fulfillment .
This was always a long term goal for Russia, (and other far north countries) the elusive Northwest Passage - largely ice packed and difficult to pass through even in Summer. While I didn't know this breakthrough had finally occurred, I was aware that it was only a matter of time.
This one is North(east)
There is no breakthrough, as a Northern traffic route still has limitation, and only a few million tones are passing through. The idea behind is to monopolize the route to Europe only, and by no means has any impact on World trade, as the only recipient of this route is China. The fact that Russia needs to spend almost a trillion USD over a few decades, and still use the arctic breakers to clear routes indicates that the Northern sea route still is technically a gamble and a large money sink.
Because of the geo-politics, US/EU can sanctions any shipping companies using the route, force a reroute and by denying port entrance. That would make any investments on the entire Northern circle by Russia useless.
Does the Russian government making money off the Northern route? No.
Does the Russian goverment still spending money on the Northern route? Yes
Do the Chinese contribute to the development of the route? Not really.
What breakthrough you're looking at?
@@vito5258 and to Russia it’s always ‘the west’ is causing problems. Someone is correct!!!
And as I predicted, the ice is back, as usual. They are lying. Ice is there some years and it's not there some years. It's a cycle. Notice the icebreaker. Funny they made no mention of it.
@@tomasgogashvily5350 this is a perfect way for them to pump the "ice is gone for the first time in history" which is a bold face lie. They showed the ice breaker but didn't mention it or the fact that it's not the first time the ice has been "gone" as it's been gone plenty of times in history, while humans were drilling for oil. And of course they provide ZERO evidence. Remember Al Gore said it would be gone by 2010 and then 5 yrs later there was more ice than we had seen in a long time. It's called the Malenkovitch cycle and the ice melts in line with the sun cycle

Will be interesting to know, Russia has plans not only to create the optical cable channel the 'Polar Express', but to create a bunch of the mega-data centers in North, providing that service for the international data giants, like Google or something like it in China, including for own national ones. That can decrease the cost of usage of such data centers dramatically, since more than 50% of electricity/energy consumption in a such datacenter is used for the cooling of the huge server farms! The expensive cooling task will be much simplified in the Northern conditions, obviously... The only problem so far is to create a network of new powerplants and electric lines in the areas of Northern Russia (a huge amount of electricity still required for datacenters anyway), but I do know Russia has a lot of plans for doing that, including the mobile sea nuclear plant platforms!
Интересно! Спасибо!

And the heat coming out can be put to good use.
The Russians have already found a way out. They are building floating nuclear power plants. One has already been built and is operating in the port of Pevek. Two more are next.
Right about the cooling: I know of a mere ten foot high electronic street advertising billboard whose cooling fans can be heard 15 metres away

FYI, the earth has been warming since the height of the last ice age, 24,000 years ago. We have much more to fear of an ice age.

It would be interesting to have an update over this project with the current political and economical situation between Europe and Russia!
Russia killed off all their workers by conscripting and losing a war. Doubt it's being worked on.
hard to know, it is too soon and the situation can still change in too many possibilities. I think at the worst case, cuba-style sanctions forever by US-Europe-OTAN, russia still benefits from finally making siberia habitable and productive, building industries there (minerals like oil, gas, coal, but also data centers -even if only by VK or Yandex, etc), increased trade with china, india and other neutral or non-hostile countries. maybe chinese trade with africa and americas can pass through there as well. etc
Nothing changed. The main interested parties in this project, China and Russia are still working together. In fact, this is one of the many stones that will overturn USA domination on global scale as it allows China's fleet to focus on their own shores and protect trade in the region while land based rocket stations can fend out NATO ships in the northern part. This route will remove the stranglehold the west has over the naval trade routes..
If only my country ( Canada ) took the opportunities in the arctic even half as seriously
Unfortunately we have a sideshow of a government that is less serious then most banana republics
Not really they can have that passage we have northerne eastern passage and is better for a lot of rich country just need to development more that passage
You guys should talk about Canada’s route as well. This new route though has huge geopolitical implications. If America and Canada and Denmark (Greenland) want to remain competitive they need to invest more in the arctic to compete with Russia both economically and defense wise
The US has a gdp of about 21.4 trillion dollars.
Russia has about 1.7 trillion, so not only is the US' gdp about a dozen times larger, its gdp is growing faster so the gap is only growing.
The Russian goverment is predicting this project will grow gdp by 2% a year, they have a history of seriously overstimating projects like these (who doesnt in fairness?) But even if we take that at face value it changes basically nothing.
As to the military - Russia cannot hope to compete with NATO and this port really doesnt change that.
The US alone has about 3.4 million tons of warships. Russia can muster maybe 750,000 tons total (also the US' ships are generally more advanced).
This seems like a great project for Russia but its important not to overstate its impact.

@@neshirst-ashuach1881 *Not quite.*
GDP comparisons only make sense when done in real currency values, not nominal ones. So Russia's GDP is actually as big as Germany's (and actually bigger since Russia has a way bigger share of the "grey" economy). Also, the USA, as of now, is not growing faster than Russia, so the gap is shrinking (though just a little bit). Russia has become the #1 ship manufacturer by the end of last year (though not by much). But yes, of course, Russia was, is and will be a land superpower rather than maritime.

How are the Russians laying claim to land that's theirs already?
Changing world order naturally demands new trade routes. The Arctic sea route would be a groundbreaking development.
I think it's a great idea! The Suez Canal is the lynch pin of the world's economy (As we've seen the effects of a couple incidents now) and probably shouldn't be solely relied upon to the extent that we do. Russia is using the initiative and capitalising on the current climate change; it just happens to be Russia and not the U.K. No one would worry if it wasn't any other country but Russia/China.
The main issue is that this will facilitate further growth of the oil industry when we need to be moving away from such fuel sources. Environmental degradation and exploitation is of course another concern. It is true though that most nations would likely do the same
@@seankilburn7200 Unfortunately, no one and no country can really use that argument, as we've been no better.

I guess that the Russians want to develop the trade in the Artic?
Why not? It's their business not UaaS...
The amount of infrastructure to complete this project is massive I can’t rap my head around it ports airports cities power plants water sewage electricity internet whole towns probably a couple military bases for protection this is truly insane interesting and terrifying all at the same time
agree, incredible scale!
It's terrifying for US imperialistic hegemony, it will be great for global economy, especially Europe and Asia because of lower travel time between Asia-Europe and over 3x lower costs compared to Suez channel route.
..инфраструктуру уже создают 😼
More terrifying thn americans attacking iraq lybia .. palestine .. afghanistan ?
When Russia & China agree to invest on such gigantic project, nothing is impossible. More so when Arab nations are gonna join too... US is left alone scratching its head till it bleeds.
I've seen 2 other videos about this project and both were rife with political bias and very little actual information (any guesses which country they were from lol). You guys have done an awesome job at making an educational yet engaging video
Spot on.
Kay - There is still political bias imho.
if you think there is only one country whose info about Russia is "rife with political bias + etc"
then the joke to laugh at is your fancy for fantasy
might be the issue ^ 😂 if only humans can work together.
Guessing which country they were from involves a heavy dose of confirmation bias. How much Russian content is there on RUclips, how much of it is in English and how many Russian videos have you seen on this/other topics?
Can you make a video explaining the belt and Road initiative?
6:54 "building new oil infrastruсture is not really what the world needs right now..." - these sentence will make Shell, BP and many brave guys in Texas unhappy :(
Nice overview, i was wondering when you would mention this project 👍I wonder if you could also mention some projects in russia like the new zvezda shipyard(the one building the lider class icebreaker) or vostochny cosmodrome in one your videos?)
The northern sea route along Russia's coats opens up every summer and has been used by less ice tolerant ships for over 100 years. Ice Breakers have got bigger and better since WW2 as well as other technologies for driving through ice, which will give the impression that Arctic is melting. Also, maximum Arctic ice occurs 3 months after the shortest day and minimum ice occurs 3 months after the longest day, which indicates that the polar ice is driven by temperatures from the lower latitudes.
If China bans the import of its goods to the US, then there will be no goods in US stores, and those that remain, the US capitalists will raise prices to the skies for the remaining goods! Biden will say this is capitalism, as it was with the banks of America!.;
Thank you. Ice cap doing ok! I monitor the Arctic Sea Ice Data regularly using the publicly available info... something that these fools never seem to look at.
error in the diagram: the planned railway road from Perm is Belkomur, the railway road from Perm to Indiga is Barentskomur
I'm so proud yet so terrified at the same time
Love the feeling of seeing a B1M upload
Really been enjoying you're more geopolitical videos lately
The trade route we've never had before is legendary, how did that happen?
Great video B1M, compared to others, your video tracks the narration pretty much. For China, it provides another route from its ports in the East China Sea and the South China Sea to Europe and beyond bypassing the Malacca Straits. The Russian bear is a polar bear.
The upside is that all this infrastructure will be able to be used for tourism purposes. Mindblowing sceneries will be so much easier to visit.
The tourism will help destroy the environment further.
@@stevewhittle7163 downside indeed
Murmansk is a great location to witness aurora borealis but the region is one of the most depressive and poverty stricken in Russia
This project might revitalise the area and make a tour there not an extreme one
It can become a really awesome tourism destination
as a person that spent years living in Svalbard, i can only say that tourism is the worst thing happening in the Arctic.
Yes, it payed my bills for years but the environmental impact of tourism is much much bigger that the tourist itself thinks.
Most tourists sees the Arctic as this "free-for-all" land and have absolutely no respect for local laws, wildlife, locals and the environment that they are visiting.
@@stevewhittle7163 tourism is a great reason for conservation tho, government isn't gonna spend money to protect something that gives no benefit to the citizens or the country
It is worth noting that the only thing holding back official territorial negotiations regarding the North Pole is the United States since they haven't ratified the UNCLOS. Russia, Canada, Denmark and Norway are all ready to initiate formal negotiations, but the United States are blocking the process.
So then Phuq the us
There would be no benefit as long as the US has the most powerful navy. Any country in that position would be stupid to sign.
@@spilledmilk4801 Sure. But I hope you can understand how the rest of the world, including its own allies, are getting frustrated when the US are blocking the chance of handling this like adults and then blaming others. Nobody benifits from this stalemate the US is creating.
@@spilledmilk4801 actually when it comes to that region us naval assets can't do much. most of them are not geared to operate with that climate
@@spilledmilk4801
Signing & Rectifying UNCLOS is stupid?...
Really?
😁🤭
Now many countries like US, Russia and China just need to get their head out of their butts and start focus on helping each other instead of constantly attacking each other. I feel we are at that age in time where there is no need for war and just be happy with what we got and improve what we have.
everyone is just a pawn in the politicians game
US doesn't want that, it only wants war and destruction

Why is it sad to have less ice in the Arctic? Great to see the Russians getting on with it.
ice in the arctic is currently above 2020 levels according to polar portal monitoring data.... just sayin....
This is real infrastructure development, not just maintaining but modernising ports, expanding airports, railways, new roads and exploiting new resources for the benefit of all

Way to go,Russia
This is a perfect example of the things that actually changed the course of human history.
Direct pragmatic decisions taking advantage of a changing environment.
The short and long-term outcomes of such a project economically environmentally and geopolitical are hard to calculate.
Because such large projects generate so much data noise that nuances are easily lost and it's the subtle details of such a project that can accumulate to decide its ultimate success or failure.
The question we should all be asking ourselves is not how this affects the status quo but how it affects the world and its people and what if anything we can or should do about it.
I trust this man
I know that I am definitely learning Russian now.
@@glogang4445 Same
Don't be rediculous it is Russia so it is certainly evil in every way you can imagine.
Tell me you believe Al Gore without telling me you believe Al gore.
I like how you mix the irony of climate change and exploitation of resources, also the economics, and importance of infrastructure in these short documentaries.
The most import thing for Russia though is the access to more military ports. They have forever not been able to access either part of their country without going through the Suez Canal
It's not ironic, it's actually sad that these people value money over our future

It’s entirely hypothetical at this point, more than 90 percent of this hasn’t been done yet. Do you know how many mega projects are abandoned or not completed? Given Russias current situation, I don’t see this getting done any time soon.
@@Marina95032 У нас в Херсоне вообще не знаю кто такая ливневка, зарплата учителя была 85 баксов в месяц после налогов. Дороги... ух, даже начинать не буду, 4 шины заменил на велике за 3 года. Хотите такую це-европу - давайте меняться?
promissing for sure but a few things
1) this route has been open for at least most of the(second half of the ) 20th century, (with issues)
in fact a significant part of the lend lease and brittish aid that the soviets received came by the arctic route.
nowadays building ships that can withstand the conditions there is not really an issue.
what is an issue is that container shipping works on a few principles among which "economy of scale" "line bundling" and focussing on just a few key major ports
the arctic route itsself offers no opportunities for bundling, they can not pick up and unload containers whilst on the way because the entire route is sparsely populated to put it mildly, the port facilities in question here are also far removed from russian population centers, which means that containers would have to be put on rail or wheels and hauled a distance that exceeds that of france from coast to coast
in summary it's a great way to ensure alternative options but asside from the exploitation and transportation of the afforementioned natural resources i'd say it's a not really viable as a full on replacement given how containershipping actually works
Very interesting topic! I'd like to hear more. Could you make an other video centered around the construction of that mega port? Including all infrastructures that are needed to support people that will be living there like energy, food, living spaces, etc.. I think that would make an excellent video to know how they plan the whole thing
Even in Russia itself there is very little information about this project.
Look to ARCTIC Council.
As a cadet I used to work on container ships, once I almost died nearby Wladiwostok. On the one hand side, I am excited about the short connection. On the other hand side, I am worried about the bad conditions the sailor will face even more north....
Correction it's *Vladivostok* not Wladiwostok
@@user-fl5sv8mr4e still understandable. Perhaps op is german
The only bad conditions could be the freezing temperature but on the positive side no sea storms.
So you admit, man made climate change is a hoax.
Isn´t it getting warmer there on the North Polar Route???
Lay claim to its coastline? Why do all of these have to be so biased?
So.... what other countries have an icebreaker fleet?
Typical US response. Worrying about how to stop other countries development rather than focusing on how the US can become more productive and competitive.
When you make others look smaller, you make yourself look bigger...
Exactly, I'm glad people are finally realizing how US imperialism negatively affects the world...
No wonder amerikkka wants to weaken and seize Russia. Those potential petrodollars get the Yankee oligarchs salivating.
@@LeprosuGnome Finally? You people are really deluded. You're just like those Muslims who are repeatedly saying "why is the media NOT talking about Israel's "war crimes"?" when all their information comes solely from the media.
ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE has been going on and on endlessly about US "imperialism" for the past 15+ years. Unless you were sleeping throughout 2003-4 you must know that already.
Yes because Russia are such good guys. Go Russia (idiot)
An extremely well done story. Thanks for producing this very valuable insight.
Well done? He just parrots and assumes the latest climate change hoax. They have been tricking you for 70 years.
What a great journalism!
the only thing different between now and the 1970s when we first ran ships through the Arctic is the vessels we had to custom build them to get through there in those days now they have fleets easily capable of doing it

This will be beautiful once built. The global economy will benefit tremendously from a route like this and an stronger, economically developed enough to open up Russia.
Says Russia’s top PR guy.
Wouldn't say ely. As a Bulgarian, I have complicated and mixed feelings towards Russia. It's just how I feel about the project itself. Siberia is a wasteland. Europe is aging. The economic growth of western Europe is slow and Russia has potential. Not only that but faster shipping from east Asia through the north sea will be beneficial for the rest of Europe as well.
@@martinkirilov2617 russia does have potential, but the only people who will benefit from exploring that potential are the billionaires in charge of the country, rather than the citizens.

I love irony-heavy ocean trade routes.
Personally I can't get behind this project, however, from an engineering and construction point of view it is an incredible undertaking and very impressive with it's scope, scale and ambition.
Why you can not get behind this project?
The current route is much longer and damages the ecology horribly. The new route, in its full force, will dramatically cut the world's greenhouse emissions (let alone saving time, money, resources of the machinery that is wasted on the longer route).
But since this won't stop climate change to happen Russia is proving itself for an inevitable future it is simultaneously causing
So in other words, you believe the propaganda. Let's see what actually happens.
@@benjaminlee4819 Russia is not planning any drastic oil production increases. So this huge port will actually decrease greenhouse emissions thanks to cutting the transport route. The existing routes will be used for other cargoes.
@@StrangerHappened But sea route is one of the efficient ways to move things around anyway with the only downside of being slower. This new route won't dramatically cut the world's greenhouse emissions in any meaningful way especially you put the emission from expanding oil infrastructure that Russia plans to profit from into account. Only thing for it is cut time and made the route go through Russia.

I'd be more worried about anything Mike Pompeo has to say. The claims about internal waterways are pure selective fearmongering... Russia considers the Northern Sea Route to be internal waters in just the same way that Canada considers the Northwest Passage to be internal waters.
both claims aren't founded in international law and are disputed by the US
