A Conceptual Framework for Designing Arctic Underwater Transport Vessels
https://doi.org/10.35854/1998-1627-2021-5-368-377
Abstract
Aim. The presented study is aimed at the development of the underwater transport fleet as an effective tool for maintaining dominance in the Arctic.
Tasks. The authors analyze the efficiency of sea transportation in the Arctic; examine and characterize existing vessels in the Arctic zone and the experience of different countries in creating underwater vehicles; determine requirements for underwater transport vessels.
Methods. This study develops requirements for the conceptual design of underwater transport vessels that could serve as the basis of an underwater Arctic transport fleet with allowance for
existing approaches to designing such vessels.
Results. The costs of re-equipping submarines of old design for the creation of underwater transport vessels are preliminarily assessed. A number of objectives for future implementation
are described. The influence of the project on the shipbuilding industry is shown.
Conclusions. Building underwater transport vessels is technically possible, economically profitable, and expedient. This project can be implemented only in two countries — Russia and the
United States.
