Costs to Establish a Database on Icebreaking Operations in the Great Lakes: Memorandum For Public Distribution

The Coast Guard met the requirement of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2022, to establish and maintain a database for collecting, archiving, and disseminating data regarding icebreaking operations in the Great Lakes by using enterprise information technology (IT) already in use by the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard and Industry Representatives agreed upon a plan for the Coast Guard to collect data regarding shipping delays caused by inadequate icebreaking resources utilizing existing communications (i.e., icebreaking planning calls, icebreaking assistance requests, vessel movement reports) and will be posted weekly to the Coast Guard Navigation Center website. The Memorandum for Public Distribution can be viewed here.
