MOSCOW. Feb 11 (Interfax) - The Federal Security Service's Border Service plans to complete the deployment of a system of automated control over the Arctic waters in 2010, the Border Service's first deputy head, Vyacheslav Dorokhin, said at a press conference in Moscow on Thursday.
The coastguard service has started patrolling waterways along the Northern Sea Route, "preventing foreign ships' attempted illegal passage on several occasions," he said.
"An automated system of technical control over the surface is under deployment. This work is to be completed in 2010," he said.
Also, border complexes are to be set up in the Northern Sea Route region, similar to the border guard strong point Nagurskoye on the Franz Josef Land Archipelago, he said.
