NavDK Ice Navigator

NavDСo L.l.c. and Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) in close cooperation, both based in Saint Petersburg, Russia, announce the release of the latest version of NavDK Ice Navigator – a top-class ECS for navigation in permanent and seasonal ice areas (Tartar straight), which features:

  • A set of layers to display ice data of various types (concentration, drift, pressure, wind) and satellite imagery.
  • Scheduled ice chart updates
  • Customizable presentation of ice charts on the screen with national and international symbology, numerical values expressed in user-defined units, etc.
  • Shore-based routing service supplying recommended routes on board, and much more
  • SOLOMKa - Information System of the ice situation in the sea channel

System expansion onto the Web allows remote monitoring of ice situation within port authority responsibility areas, safeguarded zones, etc on mobile devices and desktops.

Ice Now-, Forecasting and Routing Service by AARI

AARI supplies elaborate ice now and forecasts based on satellite imagery in visible and infrared ranges (TER (EOS Terra), AQU (EOS Aqua), LT7 (Landsat-7), LT8 (Landsat-8), RA2 (Radarsat-2), FY3 satellites), radar images and other available sources. Processing of an image occur on 4 possible levels to provide output within 2-3 hours. The output is in the form of a vector *dcf formatted chart, which is transfer format for S-411 and S-57. Such charts are prepared to be displayed laid over official S-57 and CM-93/3 ENCs on the ECS screen.

Ice charts go with recommended routes through ice fields. Such routes come from ship model based calculations of engine modes, hull response, time and costs along each route alternative, and selection of the optimal one according to user-defined criteria. However, route import and route planning functionalities of NavDK Ice Navigator allow the final decision about which route to take be left to the ship master on board, and to update it whenever a need for it arises.

Navigation Through Ice Fields

NavDK Ice Navigator uses macros to input ice data in the form of *dcf charts and display those laid over official S-57 and CM-93/3 ENCs on the screen.

  • The adjustable transparent display is implemented now, as well as animated visualization of ice trends
  • One-click function opens access to numerical ice data values, such as temperature, pressure, thickness and others expressed in international or non-system units (e.g. knots per hour for wind).
  • Dual screen display allows observation of ice situation in two remote areas at a time.
  • Ice chart legends are always on display on a dedicated pod in the main window.

Expanding Ice Charts onto the Web

NavDK Ice Navigator may have a web representative which allows dissemination of vessel ice and sea traffic information via Internet. Whatever the end-user’s software platform (Windows, Android, iOS, Linux, etc), hardware type, be it a smartphone, a laptop or any other gadget, they can monitor navigational situation in an ice area exactly in the same view as on the ECS screen.

NavDK AIS Web

NavDK AIS Web is a web interface for AIS target monitoring. AIS information may come in from its own or other dedicated server to be delivered via Internet to government officials, commercial fleet managers and other interested parties.

Cartographic backdrop is taken from an OGC server, which constitutes an integra; part of NavDK AIS.

AIS targets are displayed on the pages of NavDK AIS Website in a tabular foerm and on the chart according to the legend to reflect the target status.

NavDK Simulator PRO

The NavDK Simulator PRO system implements all the functionalities inherent in highly effective ship traffic management solutions and is designed for maritime training. The system allows you to develop skills in the use of port and navigation systems, increase navigational safety, reduce the risk of collisions and environmental damage, and improve the awareness of helmsmen.

This system makes a great contribution to:

  • Improving the safety of maritime life and ship traffic management
  • Environmental protection
  • Offshore platforms and structures safety
  • Prevention of unwanted entry, illegal movement, etc.

The system was developed taking into account the IALA recommendations, IMO requirements for conventional-class vessels (SOLAS) containing AIS systems, and ground-based AIS infrastructure, as well as IMO International Ship and Port Security Facility Security requirements (ISPS).
