Ice Advisors – professional and safe ice navigation in the Baltic Sea

Ice Advisors assist shipmasters on vessels navigating the icy conditions of the Baltic Sea with the aim of ensuring the safest and most efficient route to the port of destination and back out to the open seas.

In terms of national regulations, environmental factors, and safety requirements, it is necessary for vessels that transit ice-infested waters to carry personnel who possess the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure safe transit. Rather than undertaking the expensive proposition of training or maintaining the skills of navigators that rarely encounter icy conditions, companies have the option of employing an Ice Advisor navigator. This is the most economical alternative for most shipping companies.
