Winter information
When a ship transits Canadian waters during winter periods, there are many factors that it will need to be prepared with.
As a shipping agent, we ensure that the Captain, Owners and/or Charterers are fully informed of current ice conditions and forecasts. Ships also receive comprehensive winter navigation information to prepare them for the upcoming voyage and cold weather conditions.
A knowledgeable, well-prepared, well-equipped and a vigilant crew makes all the difference in an efficient voyage in icy waters.
