Captain Snider is an ice pilot and ice navigator with extensive voyage experience over the years in the Canadian Arctic, Antarctic, Baltic, and East Coast N. American waters, and has contributed to several regulatory and class societies’ work.
Given the rising interest in Arctic Sovereignty, and Canadian capabilities this should be a very interesting presentation.
