Ship preparation for ice conditions
Our Ice Marine Advisors start preparing your ship long before the departure by providing you with valuable instructions on protecting the main engine and the propeller, as well as on safety measures at subzero temperatures. Before the ice passage, they personally check the ship’s readiness, inspect the hull, check the equipment and insulation systems.

Ice Advisors always brief the crew, furnishing info on navigating in ice conditions, precautions and emergency measures, thus ensuring that the ship and the crew are fully equipped for the voyage.
Ice monitoring
Our Ice Advisors continuously monitor the ice situation by using innovative technologies, such as satellite systems, online information from local services and they are constantly in touch with all Ice Pilots in the area. Our Ice Advisors will assist crew to properly adjust radars and ensure real-time ice monitoring. This provides precise and reliable data on ice thickness, movement and condition as well as weather parameters. Satellite images provide the real-time status of ice fields, while radars ensure detailed ice scans. These methods allow for a timely route adjustment, ensuring efficient and safe ship passage during ice navigation.
Support
Ice Advisors profoundly understand the physics of field ice formation and movement, as well as the effects of wind
and currents. This allows them to provide ice advising services to the navigation bridge crew daily and hourly in order to avoid any routes where your ship could be trapped for a few days. Such delays make the transportation costs extremely high, including the lease expenses, maintenance and fuel costs. Our experienced Ice Advisors provide you with updated information, required to select a safe route, helping you avoid damage to the vessel and accidents, while always adhering to the latest safety and environmental requirements.
Reporting and analysis
After the passage is completed, our marine Ice Advisors provide you with detailed voyage reports and analysis.
These reports comprise details of the ice conditions, travelled route and considerations to improve future performance. The analysis helps identify potential risks and suggest mitigation measures. These recommendations help captains
in optimizing their routes and enhancing navigation safety and efficiency. Our reporting is an essential tool for planning future voyages and ensuring safe ice navigation.
