| Summary: | This book was developed as a reference guide for the Arctic Ice Regime Shipping System (AIRSS). It is a pictorial guide that outlines the four steps that are needed to apply the Ice Regime System. First, the user characterizes the Ice Regime. Second, the Class-dependent Ice Multipliers are obtained. Third, information about the Ice Regime and the Ice Multipliers is combined to determine the Ice Numeral. Finally, the Ice Numeral is used to decide whether the vessel should proceed or take an alternate route. It is hoped that the information contained in the following pages will help the reader understand the Ice Regime System while providing a concise methodology for applying AIRSS. For complete information regarding the regulatory requirements for ships operating in Canadian Arctic waters, please check the Transport Canada website www.tc.gc.ca. The last page of this booklet contains details about additional contacts. NRC publication: Yes |
