To ensure a more precise and safer mode of navigation, Wärtsilä Voyage Solutions (at that time, Transas) installed and equipped a control centre and a radio tower, as well as two remote radio towers on the shore of the Gulf of Ob. The towers are part of the system that keeps track of vessels, ensures safe navigation and prevents collisions. The control centre includes software that is capable of automatically exchanging information directly with vessels. LNG tankers operating in Sabetta are equipped with Wärtsilä × Transas-integrated bridges, allowing data to transfer automatically between the vessel and the control centre.

Today port Sabetta is the busiest port along the Northern Sea Route (NSR) and identified by the Russian Government as a project of strategic importance for the development of gas-rich Yamal Peninsula. In 2018 Sabetta cargo volumes increased y-o-y by 30 percent to 17.4 million tons.
