I think it is more for Russian goods. Stuff that comes from the central interior of Russia. Instead of sending it to either coasts then across the ocean, they can send it to their northern port, ship it iver the pole to churchill and then send it to USA. Probably a lot of distance reduced as far as shipping distance.
