Rosatom is aware of its partners' desire to conduct more than 10 such voyages during the "summer water" period, which represents a multiple increase, he said. The Northern Sea Route is the shortest water route between the European and Asian parts of the continent, running through the waters of the Russian Arctic shelf.
