Yakutia reviews 2026 river navigation and sets winter cargo delivery tasks
Officials in Yakutia, led by Government Chairman Kirill Bychkov, reviewed the results of the 2026 navigation season and set tasks for winter deliveries of fuel, food and essential goods. Priorities include Arctic districts, winter road transport and preparation for next year's river navigation, according to sakha.gov.ru.
As of 21 October, 945.8 thousand tonnes of cargo had been delivered, 95.1% of the adjusted plan. Stocks of solid fuel stood at 494 thousand tonnes against a 2026–2027 heating season need of 1,012 thousand tonnes. Food deliveries reached 105.6% of plan, with 1,600 tonnes shipped.
Delays were linked to late fuel oil shipments, equipment breakdowns at the Dzhebariki-Khaya coal mine, limited cargo fleet, low water and ice. The Ministry of Transport and Road Management was tasked with opening the Yana and Arktika winter roads early.
