VEB.RF and Rosatom have been commissioned to develop the project. Key elements include multimodal hubs on Siberian rivers and a separate investment fund with the participation of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF).
Russia has begun developing a comprehensive project for the development of the Arctic and the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor, TASS reports. Presidential Aide and Chairman of the Maritime Board Nikolai Patrushev announced this at a meeting of the Maritime Board.
According to Patrushev, in 2025, the board members held a series of on-site meetings in virtually all coastal regions of the Russian Federation to assess the situation on the ground. Together with the regional leaders, they discussed the specific outlines of the future Trans-Arctic Corridor. The focus is on organizing multimodal transportation in key river basins: the Ob-Irtysh, Angara-Yenisei, and Lena. At the same time, industrial and infrastructure projects are being developed, which should ultimately create a sustainable cargo base for the new route.
Rosatom State Corporation has been tasked with financial and economic modeling of the corridor. Another important element of the future system is the creation of an Arctic development investment fund, the concept for which, at the president's request, is to be developed by the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF). Expert support and assistance in achieving national Arctic goals will be provided by a project office established within VEB.RF.
Patrushev proposed that these two development institutions—VEB.RF and Rosatom—be tasked with overall coordination of all participants and the preparation of the final comprehensive project. The head of the Maritime Board emphasized that projects of such scale and significance had never been implemented in Russia's recent history.
As a reminder, Russian authorities are considering creating a national insurance company for vessels transporting exported raw materials. The corresponding measure is included in the draft Strategy for the Development of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) and the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor until 2050. LR
