Use cases

Sea ice

Get reliable data on ice conditions, movements, and locations in icy waters with the world’s leading SAR satellite data.

Ensure efficiency and safety of offshore operations

Obtain the most recent data about iceberg locations and ice conditions to create the safest and most efficient shipping routes for icebreakers, cargo vessels, and other ships operating in icy waters with radar satellite imagery.

Shipping and navigation in northern waters

Sea-ice_Gulf-of-Bothnia_01_comparison-slider Sea-ice_Gulf-of-Bothnia_02_comparison-slider

Changes in sea ice conditions on two consecutive days in the Gulf of Bothnia, Baltic Sea have a significant impact on vessel traffic.

challenge_icon

Challenge

Safe shipping and navigation in ice-covered waters are crucially important for northern countries where trade is dependent on shipping, and therefore cargo vessels must have conditions to run smoothly throughout the year.

Solution

To ensure the safety and efficiency of operations, the most recent data on ice conditions is required. Persistent sea ice monitoring with ICEYE radar satellite imagery provides frequently updated data that ensures maritime safety. You can track icebergs and ice movements with possible predictions and obtain data streams for iceberg mapping and ice charting.

Monitor environmental changes

Sea-ice_Antarctica_01_comparison-slider Sea-ice_Antarctica_02_comparison-slider

Changes in sea and ground ice in Antarctica recorded over 5 days with the ICEYE SAR constellation.

challenge_icon

Challenge

Climate change has a significant impact on ice formations in many regions, including vast Arctic and Antarctic areas that are highly difficult to monitor. To understand the effects of climate change, researchers need reliable and detailed information about changes in ice formations.
