| Summary: | In the Canadian Arctic, many communities depend heavily on shipping for dry cargo and fuel. The safety and efficiency of marine operations can be enhanced through better access to environmental data and regional information. The Canadian Arctic Shipping Risk Assessment System (CASRAS) is a map-based software tool developed by NRC for viewing and analyzing Arctic data – with a focus on ice – relevant to shipping operations. The system is used by a number of marine stakeholders to improve their ice risk awareness. The present report summarizes the progress on the project CASRAS: A Tool for NWT Marine Trade Corridor Efficiency, Reliability and Safety in the period April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 (government fiscal year 2022-23).
