Novy Port and Dikson -- Russian Arctic ports on the Kara Sea.

Along with Dikson, it is the main port on the Kara Sea.[3] Its main industry is a fish factory.

In the 1930s, Novy Port was an interim coal bunkering port for providing power to vessels traversing the Northern Sea Route.[4]

The Northern Sea Route is so long that the Soviets tried to power each leg of the voyage by locally mined coal. The coal bunkered at Novy Port was, at that time, mined from other Soviet Arctic ports.
