2. 機関概要
The business is to promote safe and efficient maritime operations and protects Canada's environment by providing reliable and timely information about ice and iceberg conditions in Canadian waters.
For example, it provides timely warnings of icebergs and ice conditions that pose immediate threats to ships, ports and other marine operations. It identifies safe shipping routes for navigators in areas affected by ice. And it provides information that is critical in helping shipping and resource development companies plan their seasonal operations in a safe and efficient manner.
To meet their mission, they collect and analyze data on ice conditions in all regions of the country affected by the annual cycle of pack ice growth and disintegration. In summer, their focus is on conditions in the Arctic and the Hudson Bay region. In winter and spring, attention shifts to the Labrador Coast and East Newfoundland waters, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway.
