Ice Advisory Services
Independent routing advice for ice-affected waters.
Maxel Marine provides route and passage advice for vessels operating in or approaching ice-affected waters, combining current ice charts and forecasts with the vessel's own ice class, hull condition and manoeuvring characteristics.
Ice chart and forecast review
Current ice concentration, stage of development and expected movement along the intended route.
Route advice
Recommended track and alternatives, weighed against the vessel's ice class and the master's own assessment on scene.
Vessel suitability
A check of ice class, hull and propulsion condition against the ice conditions expected.
Ongoing advisory
Updated guidance as ice conditions or the vessel's position change through the voyage.
This service supports the master's own decision-making — it does not replace the master's authority or judgment on scene.
