The paper outlines main directions for development of a roadmap of the national technological initiative MariNet. In the next 20 years these directions would influence the development of high-technology companies and of maritime industry as a whole. Approaches and measures of state support for realisation of the roadmap are outlined.

Balanced development of efficient transport system in the Russian Federation is impossible without forming and developing high-speed transport system. Thus development of a strategy for development of high-speed motorways in the Russian Federation through to 2030 is extremely urgent. The paper looks at the main principles of forming a network of the country's high-speed motorways, and provides an analysis of socio-economic effects resulting from realisation of the strategy for development of Russia's high-speed motorways.

Failure to fulfil the requirements of the normative interpretation of the term and concept of ensuring road traffic safety as "activity aiming to prevent the causes of occurrence of road-traffic accidents, and reduction of gravity of their consequences" is the primary cause of high mortality rate in Russia's roads. The paper presents justifications for a mechanism of practical realisation of ensuring road-traffic safety, and of factors which stem from this concept such as systemic character of the activities organised for ensuring road-traffic safety, adeptness and responsibility of specific individuals for due fulfilment of policies.

The paper proposes a method for evaluation of safety of operation of sea-going vessels based on forecasting the probability of dangerously close approaches occurring in case of breaching manoeuvring standards in the system of two objects, namely sea-going vessels. It is established that the guidelines of risk-orientated approach to analysis of qualities of rare events which is developed in aviation are also applicable in maritime transport.

Perspectives for development of stevedoring services in today's Russia depend on state bodies' possible decision to re-introduce control over rates for cargo trans-shipment at ports. The article provides an analysis of primary consequences of implementation of the potential state initiative for main actors in the stevedoring services market, such as stevedoring companies, cargo shippers, and the state.

The experience of designing unique port facilities on permafrost soils indicates that particularly vulnerable are the saline ice-rich soils. Their defrosting leads to collapse-type deformations. Computational modelling allows to determine safe foundation depth, including pile installation, as well as ensuring integrity of permafrost soils by application of highly efficient thermal isolation.

In world economy, a cluster is being set up in cases when companies cannot find ways for competition with other producers. In Russia, setting up industrial clusters is perceived as an effective instrument for realisation of the territorial-sectoral planning strategy. The paper presents an analysis of specific features of the ship-building industry, identifies promising directions for development of civil ship-building, and outlines economic and territorial prerequisites for setting up ship-building clusters.

Increasing fullness of large-capacity inland and mixed river-sea-going transport ships' hulls has been a constant trend of Russian ship-building. The article analyses towing test results of mixed river-sea-going ship models with different hull fullness, and shows the influence of hull fullness on its flow resistance.

Exploration of promising deposits of oil and gas on the Arctic shelf and on the freezing seas' shelf requires increasing efficiency of icebreaker support for transport ships and further increases in the icebreakers' capacity. The paper looks at the integrated method for designing and optimising of body lines on the example of the project 21900M icebreaker. Data provided for experimental and field surveys to establish chief characteristics of the vessel's aerodynamics, manoeuvring ability, sea-going performance and ice propulsion qualities.
