- Forecast movement and occurrence of sea ice, ice islands and icebergs; long term and short term. Click here to learn more about our short term forecasting services.
- Use satellite imagery, field studies and sonar profiling to document and analyze ice type, size, shape and cover. Click here to learn more about our satellite imaging and field work activities.
- Analyze impact probability of extreme ice features; ice loading on structures; ice scour on seabed; identification of ice hazards.
Offshore Petroleum Field Operations
Canatec’s FEED services supply critical data to the design of marine activities in offshore petroleum fields, for exploration, drilling, construction, operations and decommissioning.
- Predict ice conditions to determine opening and closing of season for seismic and drilling vessels.
- Analyze historical and current ice conditions to find optimized routing of ship traffic to the zone.
- Predict and model trajectories of oil spilled on ice or from underwater blowouts.
Vessel Transits & Marine Operations
Canatec’s FEED services are used by shipping companies having to navigate in ice-infested waters and construction firms building marine facilities. They are similar to what is mentioned above in Field Operations, with the difference that commercial vessel transits will cover a much larger distance; in some cases, we have assisted clients with transiting the whole NorthWest Passage through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
- Predict ice conditions to determine opening and closing of season.
- Analyze historical and current ice conditions to find optimized routing.
