One of them is the use of the Arctic Sea Route. Due to the need to provide energy resources, South Korea is very interested in the possibility of commercializing this route. The article examines issues such as the volume of cargo transported along the Northern Sea Route, the comparison of the length of the two routes, and the expected result in the case of South Korea's participation in the Arctic LNG-2 project. It was found that the use of the Northern Sea Route reduces the route from South Korea to Europe by about 6000 km and the transportation period by 10 days compared to the route through the Suez Canal. According to research by scientists, the Northern Sea Route can be economically profitable, depending on some factors. As a result, we came to the conclusion that the Northern Sea Route is the alternative sea route and South Korea is extremely interested in developing cooperation on the development of the Arctic zone of Russia.</italic></p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><italic>Блокировка Суэцкого канала и, как следствие, резкий рост количества судов в портах, вызвали необходимость рассмотрения других альтернативных маршрутов. Один из них – использование Арктического морского пути. В связи с необходимостью обеспечения энергоресурсами, Южную Корею очень заинтересовала возможность коммерциализации данного маршрута. В статье рассматриваются такие вопросы, как объём перевозимых грузов по Северному морскому пути, сравнение протяженности двух маршрутов и предполагаемый результат в случае участия Южной Кореи в проекте «Арктик СПГ-2».  Выявлено, что использование Северного морского пути сокращает маршрут из Южной Кореи в Европу примерно на 6000 км., а срок перевозки на 10 дней, по сравнению с маршрутом через Суэцкий канал. Согласно исследованиям учёных, эксплуатация Северного морского пути может быть экономически выгодным в зависимости от некоторых факторов. В результате приходим к выводу, что Северный морской путь является альтернативным морским маршрутом и Южная Корея крайне заинтересована в развитии сотрудничества по освоению Арктической зоны России.</italic></p></trans-abstract><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>A Study on demand analysis of ship operation in the Arctic Shipping Route and transport infrastructure // Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. – 2020. – 33 p.</mixed-citation></ref><ref id="B2"><label>2.</label><mixed-citation>Chul-hwan Han.
