MOSCOW, March 29. /TASS/. Gazprom Neft is considering an opportunity of increasing oil transportation along the Northern Sea Route, CEO of the Russian oil major Alexander Dyukov told reporters.

"We are considering such an option; it is early so far to make a more detailed comment," the chief executive said.

Gazprom Neft will keep their deliveries along the Northern Sea Route at the last-year level in 2024, Dyukov noted, without indicating exact volumes.

There is economic efficiency from using this route and tariffs there enable the company to have a positive economic effect, the chief executive added.
