北極海航路の利活用に向けた国際セミナー in 東京北極海航路の利活用に

向けた国際セミナー in 東京

「北極海航路の利活用に向けた国際セミナー」の開催にあたって

昨年9月に「北極海航路の持続的利用に向けた国際セミナー」を開催いたしましたところ、

予想を上回る反響を得て多くの皆さまのご参加をいただきました。北極海航路に対する関

心の高さと、その利用に向けた具体的な動きが始まりつつあることを改めて認識した次第

です。私どもがノルウェーとロシアの研究機関とともに 1993 年から 6 年間実施した「国

際北極海航路開発計画」(INSROP: International Northern Sea Route Programme)にお

いて、北極海航路の通年運航は技術的に可能だが商業航路としての利用は 50 年先、と結

論づけたことを考えますと、現実の社会の変化の速さにはただ驚くばかりです。そして今

年は邦船社による同航路を利用した輸送計画が報道されるなど、我が国においても北極海

航路を現実の輸送航路として考えるべき段階に入りました。

しかし他方で、同航路の利用状況を見てみますと昨年までの急激な成長が一転し、今年は

低調な状況で推移しています。このように北極海航路にはまだまだ不確実性が多く存在し

ていることも事実であり、安定的な商業利用を考えるうえではネガティブな要因にも目を

向け冷静に分析を行う必要があります。そこで今年のセミナーでは、北極海航路の運航経

験が豊富な海外船社などから専門家をお招きし、北極海航路の利用の可否を決定する要素

とはどのようなものか、メリットとデメリットの双方を検討し、皆さまに参考となるよう

な現実的な視点で議論を進めたいと考えております。フロアからも忌憚のないご意見やご

質問などをいただければありがたく存じます。

On Hosting the International Seminar on Sustainable Use of the Northern Sea Route

When we hosted the International Seminar on Sustainable Use of the Northern Sea

Route last September, the response far exceeded our expectations and resulted in a

large number of participants. It underscored for us the high level of interest in

utilization of the Northern Sea Route and the fact that concrete steps towards that end

are now being taken. It also reminded us of the surprising pace of change taking place

in society, as at the end of our six-year collaboration with research institutes in

Norway and Russia on the International Northern Sea Route Programme (INSROP),

we had drawn the conclusion that while year-round navigation is now technologically

possible, its use as a commercial shipping route would take another fifty years. In fact,

however, plans by a domestic shipping company to use the Northern Sea Route were

announced this year, indicating that we have now entered the stage where Japan also

must give serious thought to utilization of the NSR as a practical route for maritime

transport.

At the same time, in contrast to the rapid growth in NSR use up until 2013, transit

activity has remained at a relatively low level throughout this year. As this shows,

there still remains much uncertainty concerning use of the NSR, and so we must also

analyze those negative factors when thinking about its reliable commercial use.

Therefore, at this year’s seminar, the experts we have invited from foreign shipping

companies and institutes with long experience in NSR operations will speak on what

are the critical factors that must be considered when deciding on using the NSR.

Examining both the merits and demerits of NSR use, the discussion will center on a

practical perspective we hope to be of use to all the participants. We welcome any

frank opinions and questions from the floor.

ロシア中央船舶海洋設計研究所（CNIIMF）

CNIIMFは 1929年に設立された、商船を対象とした船舶の効率改善、安全、技術開発、設計支援

等、海上輸送分野におけるロシアの主要研究機関です。元は国立研究所でしたが、1993 年に民間

に移行しました。北極海を航行する船舶に必要な Ice Certificateの承認機関であるとともに、国際

海事機関（IMO）の極域航行コード（Polar Code）に関するロシアの代表機関です。

ロシア国営原子力船公社（ROSATOMFLOT）

北極海航路を航行する貨物船の航行を原子力砕氷船で支援する業務を行っている会社です。同社は

直接貨物を輸送するわけではありませんが、北極海航路の利用促進のため、各国船社や荷主と連

携・情報交換をはかり、貨物輸送プロジェクトを積極的に展開しています。このため、北極海航路

に関する各国船社・船主の多くの情報を持っています。欧州方面では、各種の北極海利用に関する

国際会議やシンポジウム等において、北極海航路の情報を数多く発信しています。欧州側からアジ

ア向けの冷凍水産品輸送など、双方向の輸送の可能性について期待を持っています。また、季節限

定でのコンテナ貨物輸送の可能性についても検討しています。
