Abstract
Over the past few years, the Northern Sea Route has received increased international attention for a number of reasons. This circumstance makes us take a fresh look at how the maritime transport of the Eastern Arctic can be integrated into the international transport space. In this vein, the patterns of development of the regions of the Eastern Arctic and their seaports are considered. Infrastructural problems and development prospects are identified. The conditions and opportunities for the integration of maritime transport in the Eastern Arctic into the global transport space under the conditions of intensive development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation are determined. It is concluded that, first of all, it is necessary to determine the most important and strategically significant infrastructure projects, observing the economic, environmental and social values of the region. Secondly, to synchronize infrastructure and production projects to ensure sustainable economic growth and territorial connectivity of the region, which will ensure the development of production facilities, remove infrastructure restrictions and attract additional transit cargo.
