Feedback collected in the Bay of Bothnia on map markings of Aids to navigation to be removed for winter
In the Bay of Bothnia, a new experiment on map marking operating models will be launched in the winter season 2023–2024. The aim of the operating model is to specify the map markings of Aids to navigation (AtoN) to be removed during the winter season to better correspond with the actual situation at sea. The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom, the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and Fintraffic’s Vessel Traffic Services will collaborate to collect feedback on the functioning of the operating model from vessels moving in the area during the coming winter season.

The Nordic Hydrographic Commission (NHC) was one of the first regional commissions to join the Seabed 2030 project that aims to map all seas of the world by the end of the decade. The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom represents Finland in the mapping project. The international cooperation project promotes the sustainable use of the seas, protection of the marine environment, safety of navigation and distribution of open data in particular.
