Unless you’re familiar with Greenland’s waters, it’s generally difficult to navigate through its arctic conditions. The climate, influence of the weather, vastness of the sea area and the ever-changing ice conditions mean that all shipping vessels – from fishing boats to cargo ships – need an experienced pilot onboard.
In this episode of Satellite Stories we meet arctic navigator Søren Nuka Olsvig, to learn about the importance of real-time information via reliable internet connection at sea.
