Ice In ECDIS VisionIce In ECDIS Vision
In the far northern and southern In the far northern and southern hemispheres ice is a major factor in safe hemispheres ice is a major factor in safe navigation and the integration of real time navigation and the integration of real time or near real-time ice information into ECDIS or near real-time ice information into ECDIS is an important and natural step. is an important and natural step.
To achieve this vision one primary To achieve this vision one primary requirement is the development of an ICE requirement is the development of an ICE feature data dictionary to work with ECDIS. feature data dictionary to work with ECDIS.
