Arctic Voyage Planning Guide

The Arctic Voyage Planning Guide (AVPG) is intended as a strategic planning tool and a compilation of data and services for national and international vessels traveling in the Canadian Arctic. The AVPG is not intended to replace official carriage information or products provided from Canadian sources. In case of disparity, the information contained in official publications will prevail. The mariners remain responsible for navigational decisions and safety of their ships. The information provided in this guide should be used together with all other relevant information, as required by law, standards and good seamanship practices.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada acknowledges the valuable contribution of information and data from the Canadian Coast Guard, the Canadian Hydrographic Service, Transport Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and Natural Resources Canada.
