reliable and accurate satellite information in the North Pole.

current ice situation around the ship unknown. Sailing the North pole is a gamble.

How can a device which measures the ice thickness contribute to making Arctic sailing safer for ships?

1.How can the ice thickness be measured of the surrounding ice with the current on-board equipment?2.What is the behavior of the ice? 3.What must be the range of the ice detector? 4. In what way is it possible to measure the ice thickness in a horizontal way? 5.How can the ice thickness be measured by using cameras? (HD and thermal)6.How can the ice be measured by using Electromagnetic Induction?7.How will the ice measurements process be automated?

Current and future situation Out of date information

Content:1.Measuring ice in a horizontal way.2.Sonar communication with the bridge3.Reliability of the system.

Solution Sonar

Sonar divided in two systems: 1. Active Sonar2. Passive Sonar

Sonar will be placed on three different levels:Sonar Place of sonar Line in picture

1 25 cm below surface Yellow

2 30 cm below surface Purple

3 35 cm below surface Green

The ECDIS sends information obtained in to visible lines on the screen.

When a sonar detects ice it will communicate with the bridge team: First sonar (color yellow) Second Sonar (color purple) Third sonar!(color green)

negative factor for the reliability of the system.

.Example system. Solution system: Stabilizer

Content:1.Types of cameras2.Application of the cameras3.Video thermal cameras

Types of cameras: Thermal and HD cameras

Use of thermal cameras: Combined with ECDIS and Radar system. Help in a MOB situation or Ice detection

Use of HD cameras: 3D measurement system

Content

1.How the electromagnetic measurement take place.2.The advantages and disadvantages for using this method.

The electromagnetic device (EM31). Advantages and disadvantages.

Sharing information Transmitter and receiver

Electronic Chart Display and Information System

IMO regulations Real-time information

The main question: How can a device, which measures the ice thickness, contribute to make North Pole sailing safer for ships?

1. The system must be tested. 2. The communication with other ships to share data

must be tested.3. Each of the ice measuring systems we mentioned

needs to be tested.

Thanks for listening!
