Turn
Compare a proposed heading against bow accretion rate before altering course.
DECISION TOOL
How fast spray ice will grow on your ship.
FrostCast computes spray-ice accretion rate and a short-range prediction for a specified vessel and heading, from wind, air temperature, and sea state. Results are reported for bow, superstructure, and bridge, and support decisions to alter course, assign de-icing, or hold.
CONSOLE
PRODUCT
Operational decisions.
Zone rates that inform heading, de-icing, and whether to proceed.
Chip
Accretion is not uniform. Direct the crew to the zone with the highest growth rate.
Hold
If accretion exceeds what this vessel can carry, reduce speed, delay departure, or remain in port.
ABOUT
Built for the ice, not the chart.
FrostCast is a decision-support system for marine spray icing. It is developed for vessels operating in cold oceans, where accretion on the hull is a function of this ship, this heading, and the weather at the time.
Generic icing class is not enough for a bridge decision. FrostCast computes accretion rate and a short-range prediction by zone, so the master can alter course, assign de-icing, or hold with a number that belongs to that vessel.
