ICE ALERT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF EVACUATING AN ARCTIC FLOATING PLATFORM FROM A HAZARDOUS ICE CONDITION

摘要

An ice alert system includes an ice floe monitoring system, and an ice floe forecast system operatively connected to the ice floe monitoring system. The ice floe forecast system is configured to determine a hazardous ice condition. An evacuation system is operatively connected to the ice floe forecast system. The evacuation system is configured and disposed to determine, in response to the hazardous ice condition, a safe harbor location, and a navigational course from an original anchor point to the safe harbor location.
