Для оказания помощи капитанам и экипажам судов при плавании и маневрировании судов в ледовых условиях, взаимодействии «судно-судно» и «судно-ледокол», компания СПБ Лоцман разработала и успешно проводит программу Ледовых Советников («Ice Advisors' Program»).
2012-2013 winter forecasted to be one of the most severe again. "Ice advisors" as a part of SPB Pilot LTd are proudly present you our ice advising program. We are rendering full assistance to shipping industry en-route from any European port until alongside in the port of Saint-Petersburg. Depending on your particular demands, we can join your ship and assist shipborn stuff in ice navigation throughout Baltic sea or Gulf of Finland only.
Nowadays all seafarers are well trained and ready for operating their vessels under heavy weather conditions. However, port of Saint-Petersburg and Gulf of Finland are well known as deeply freezing areas and each winter season are fully covered with very thick ice sometimes reaching more than 1 meter thick. It is quite usual for Baltic sea when outside temperature falls down to even -20C degrees. Very low temperatures and freezing sea spray strengthen effect.
Ice navigation and manoeuvering in the ice, ship-to-ship and ship-to-icebreaker interaction, mutual assistance and communication requires special skills and sufficient training, which cannot be obtained during very short, mostly random calls to ice affected areas.
