    Icelandic commercially operated ships shall report their position to the Icelandic Coast Guard through the Automatic Identification System (AIS). This means that foreign vessels are visible in this tracking system. Vessels exceeding 300 GT (other than fishing vessels and government vessels) shall report their arrival in part with a notice of 24 hours to the Icelandic Coast Guard through a SafeSeaNet (SSN) notice. All fishing vessels and other vessels that are not covered by the rules of SSN, except government vessels coming from abroad, shall report their arrival in port with a notice of 24 hours to the Icelandic Coast Guard on the appropriate electronic form.

  • Guidelines for masters of cruise and passenger ships arriving in Iceland

    Sailing in Icelandic waters may be very demanding and there are few places in the world where a change in weather can be as abrupt. Weather can be very changeable, especially in winter. Danger can also arise in the summer when low pressure areas with high wind conditions and added wave height can compromise maritime safety. It is therefore important to proceed carefully and follow rules on maritime safety in all respects.

  • Port Warning & Signals

    In accordance with international procedure, ports are warned and advised to hoist "Signals" whenever adverse weather is expected over the ports for the oceanic areas, in which it is located due to the tropical cyclone. However, regional difference exists.

    More than a hundred Frequently Asked Questions on Tropical Cyclones: What is a tropical cyclone?, Why do ‘tropical cyclones' winds rotate counter-clockwise (clockwise) in the Northern (Southern) Hemisphere? What does "maximum sustained wind" mean?, How does it relate to gusts in tropical cyclones?, What is the energy potential of a Tropical Cyclone?, How are low pressure system classified in India? What are the differences between low, depression and cyclone?, etc (CWD/RSMC).

  • Interactive Cyclone Track Map

    This is an interactive GIS enabled map showing track and intensity of a cyclonic disturbance. The black line indicates the observed track and the red line shows the forecast track. The uncertainty in the track forecast is represented by green colored "cone". The state of sea is defined based on the maximum sustained winds associated with the system and accordingly action is suggested for fishermen (CWD/RSMC).

  • Previsione del vento e mare nel Mediterraneo (LaMMa)

    L'altezza significativa (Hs o H 1/3) è l'altezza media del terzo di onde più alto. In pratica se si mettono in scala crescente di altezza tutte le onde presenti in un'area della superficie del mare e si prende la media del terzo più alto si ottiene l'altezza significativa. Questa misura ha il vantaggio di essere molto vicina all'altezza che un osservatore esperto rileva ad occhio nudo dal ponte di una barca. Esempio: previsione di mare molto mosso con onde di 2 metri (altezza significativa (Hs) di 2 metri). Che tipo di onde posso incontrare in mare? – 1 onda ogni 2000 (Hmax) avrà altezza di 4 metri – 1 onda ogni 100 (H 1/100) avrà altezza di 3,3 metri ( 2 metri x 1,67) – 1 onda ogni 10 (H 1/10) avrà altezza di 2,5 metri ( 2 metri x 1,27). L'altezza massima dell'onda è il doppio dell'altezza significativa s(Info sul modello).
