The Arctic: Present and Future named after Artur Chilingarov

From December 12 to 13, 2024, the XIV International Forum Arctic: Today and the Future is being held in St. Petersburg. This year, it was decided to name the forum after its founder, the legendary polar explorer Artur Chilingarov.

Every year, the forum brings together representatives of the authorities, the scientific and business community to form decisions on topical issues of the Arctic. More than 2000 people from Russia and the world take part in the event. The forum program includes two plenary sessions, an exhibition and more than 50 discussion platforms dedicated to the main areas of the economy of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

Oboronlogistics specialists traditionally take part in the forum, using the opportunity to exchange experience, study the needs of shippers in the Arctic and expand the customer base. Oboronlogistics is ready to offer solutions to a wide range of logistics problems in the field of cargo transportation along the Northern Sea Route routes and is open to joint work on existing and new projects.

Oboronlogistics has been operating in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation since 2017. During this time, the company delivered more than 150 thousand tons of cargo, including food, medicines, equipment, fuel, lubricants and construction materials, to the points of the Arctic. In the opposite direction, about 12 thousand tons of obsolete equipment and scrap metal that polluted the Arctic were exported.

During the navigation of 2024, the Oboronlogistics dry cargo ship Sparta IV operated on the Northern Sea Route, which made 4 coastal voyages from the port of Arkhangelsk to the port of Bukhta Sever and transported 13 thousand tons of cargo necessary for the development of deposits and the construction of a new terminal there. Unloading was carried out, among other things, in difficult weather conditions using the vessel's own crane equipment.
