reconnaissance data with IIP. In addition, CIS 

 provided Ice Patrol with critical support of 

 BAPS. Finally. Provincial Aerospace Limited 

 supplied IIP with invaluable ice data. 



Customer Relations 



According to surveys from customers, mariners 

 use all of Ice Patrol's products; therefore, IIP 

 will continue generating the same products next 

 season, along with a new ice chart valid for 

 OOOOZ. Moreover, because feedback from 

 customers was not as comprehensive as 

 planners had hoped. Ice Patrol will continue 

 sending surveys to mariners in 2005.
