Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) Marine Core Service Sea ice service Assessment of products relevant to Baltic, especially in sea ice to improve ice information and ice forecasts. In the Baltic Sea the marine transport is about 0. 9 B tonnes, an increase of 30% in 10 years and 40% during ice season. • FMI is a link between My. Ocean and end users • FMI has a very good connection to main end users in the Baltic Sea maritime transport, eg. Nat. Maritime Administrations, BIM, EIS, IICWG, WMO/IOC-ETSI • Benefits: maritime transport during ice season with better sea ice information and forecasts MY OCEAN Marine Core Service
