Abstract

The purpose of the work is to study the theoretical problem concerning the completeness of the classification of emergency situations in relation to maritime spaces in the Arctic zone, and to develop on this basis scientific proposals for improving Russian legislation. The relevance of the chosen topic is predetermined by the increasing importance of the Northern Sea Route as a global transport communication in the face of the possibility of occurrence in the Arctic as a result of climate change and anthropogenic impact of events that entail catastrophic environmental consequences, the formation of global risks for the economy, population, environment and state security. The relevance of the proposed materials is due to the implementation of large-scale economic and environmental projects by Russia, the provision of defense and security, the sea transportation of hydrocarbons, and potential terrorist threats. The classification of situations serves as the basis for management decisions on rescuing people at sea, protecting the environment and eliminating oil spills in difficult environmental conditions. Classification as a method of scientific knowledge correlates with the goals of its application, which determines its scientific and practical significance in this work. As a result of the analysis of regulatory legal acts and scientific publications, the author identified a gap in the classification of emergencies at sea and substantiated the conclusion that it is necessary to develop a proposal to fill it by improving legislation.
