It will ship stems of between 20,000 and 100,000 tons along the Northern Sea Route for Sibanthracite Overseas, a subsidiary of VostokCoal, TASS reported.
Murmansk said: "This project will be one of the biggest projects in the Arctic to deliver bulk cargo.
"High-quality anthracite, produced on Taimyr, will be delivered from the Dikson port to Europe."
