Russia Holds Drills to Protect Northern Sea Route
The Northern Sea Route is a maritime artery running through Russia's Exclusive Economic Zone in the far north, from the Barents and White Seas in the west to the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea in the east. Over time, Moscow expects the route to carry up to 270 million tons of commercial cargo each year. The 5,550+ km route is by far the shortest sea artery between Europe and Asia, saving up to 9,000 km and 40-60 percent of the time it takes to move goods between East and West.
