Russia's Northern Delivery Program marks two years of Arctic logistics progress
Our website, April 22 – Nikolai Yezhov, a member of the Federation Council Committee on Rules and Parliamentary Procedure and a senator representing the Magadan Region, took part in a working meeting dedicated to the implementation of the federal law On the Northern Delivery Program. The discussion brought together heads of relevant federal and regional agencies, specialists from the Rosatom State Corporation, and industry experts, the press service of the Magadan Region government reports.
Yezhov noted that the Federation Council had been deeply involved in drafting the law, meaning parliamentary oversight of its enforcement remains a priority. With the legislation marking its second anniversary this month, the experience gained over this period allows for a substantive assessment of both its successes and areas where legal regulation still requires refinement.
Particular attention at the meeting was given to the full-scale launch of the Unified Maritime Operator for the Northern Delivery Program. Starting in early 2026, these functions will officially be assigned to Rosatom Arktika JSC, which will oversee regular coastal shipping routes between ports at state-regulated tariffs.
Reflecting on the pilot phase implemented in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Senator Yezhov offered a positive evaluation of the work done.
"Looking at our neighbors in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, we've seen how a full-fledged multimodal supply chain is being built—one where cargo doesn't just arrive at the port but is delivered directly to the end recipient, even when unloading on an undeveloped coastline. It is this kind of comprehensive service that our northern territories truly need," he said.
