| Abstract | In the Canadian Arctic, many communities depend heavily on shipping for dry cargo and fuel. The safety and efficiency of marine operations can be enhanced through better access to environmental data and regional information. The Canadian Arctic Shipping Risk Assessment System (CASRAS) is a map-based software tool for viewing and analyzing data relevant to northern shipping operations. The platform was initially developed through internal funding from NRC’s Arctic Program. In 2019, Transport Canada selected CASRAS as a project to be funded under the National Trade Corridors Fund (NTCF). The aim of this 5-year project was to build upon the CASRAS platform and provide enhanced tools to northern partners – to improve marine trade corridor efficiency, reliability and safety in the western Arctic. The main activities included compilation of environmental data and mariner knowledge, and development and sharing of tools to accurately predict short-term and longer-range sea ice conditions. This report summarizes the progress on the project CASRAS: a tool for NWT Marine Trade Corridor Efficiency, Reliability and Safety in the period April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 (government fiscal year 2023-24). |
