The object will be complemented by a stationary oil terminal, which will allow to ship annually for export up to 30 million tons. The potential cargo base of the area of ​​attraction to the port of Indiga can be up to 120 million tonnes in 2030 year.

Part of the cargo will go to Japan, since the port will be designed and built primarily to handle such cargo, like coking coal, wood, fertilizers and chemical products, paper.

“The main cargo route will become not just a highway for the delivery of goods from the Asia-Pacific region, but by, which is able to serve the northern energy production capacities of the Arctic region.

The Northern Sea Route in one way or another provides industrial production with export opportunities. New points in the form of a railway route and a seaport will become links in a single huge chain. Modern technical capabilities will allow to implement projects in the near future», – economist Belyaev assured.

Cargo base at the "Barentskomur" on 90-95 % comparable to the Belkomur base. Therefore, the highway will minimize the risks for shippers and recipients, in particular for oil companies, since the railway from Indiga to Surgut passes through oil and gas fields. Oil workers need a road to deliver construction machinery and equipment, required for the development of deposits.

Besides, the strategic project will allow the export of goods from the regions of Novosibirsk, Kuzbass and also transit cargo from Kazakhstan is one and a half times shorter than the Trans-Siberian Railway. Due to this, the capacity of freight rail traffic in Russia will increase., the interlocutor stated ABF "Economics today».
