The son of Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev became a co-owner of the seaport in Arkhangelsk. Andrey Patrushev owns 10% of the company. Andrei Patrushev was a member of the board of directors of the Arkhangelsk Commercial Sea Port for several years, but was not a co-owner. However, in December 2022, the legal entity managing the port carried out a reorganization: before that, it existed in the form of a joint stock company, the sole shareholder of which was a Cypriot company. In December, the company became a limited liability company. In the new legal entity, Andrey Patrushev became the owner of a 10% stake in AMTP, discovered RTVI. The Arkhangelsk sea port is one of the reference points of the Northern Sea Route (NSR), the route between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. One of the national interests of Russia in the Arctic is the development of the NSR as a route competitive on the world market – an alternative to the route through the Suez Canal. Against the background of the closure of European ports, the Northern Sea Route opens up new prospects for the transit of goods to the Asia-Pacific region, and India and China are negotiating with Russia on the joint development of a logistics route. In addition, AMTP is a very successful business: the company’s revenue for 2020 amounted to about 1.5 billion rubles, and its net profit was almost 500 million rubles.
