establish an effective monitoring system for the ecology.<br />

Development”. This bill will confirm the Northern Sea Route potential as the traditional<br />

requirements for ships operating along the Route, legal questions affecting shipping operations,<br />

protective measures for the ecological system in ice covered sea areas, as well as financing<br />

icebreaking operations, navigation, hydrometeorology coverage, ice conditions information<br />

systems for vessels and the framework and guidelines for emergency safety operations.<br />
