Case Study: Viking Ice Consultancy achieves safer, more efficient Arctic cable operations with StormGeo

Navigating the Brutal Arctic with Viking Ice

Viking Ice Consultancy, a turnkey ice-management and logistics provider for Arctic deep‑sea cable projects, faced severe storms, floating ice and limited communications that threaten crew safety, equipment and project schedules. To manage these weather‑sensitive operations they partnered with StormGeo and adopted StormGeo’s Offshore Weather Forecasting service, including hourly point forecasts, a dedicated web portal, AIS fleet monitoring and optional dedicated meteorologist support.

StormGeo delivered tailored, high‑accuracy forecasts and real‑time decision support that identified safe weather windows and improved fleet situational awareness. Viking Ice Consultancy reported reduced operational uncertainty during Arctic transits, a lower “alpha” risk factor, and measurable time and cost savings from fewer delays and safer operations — outcomes they directly attribute to StormGeo’s forecasting, portal access and meteorological support.
