ControlsSea-ice concentration slider (0-100%) sets ice-floe density and computed ice thickness; vessel speed slider (6-22 knots) sets transit time and the ship's actual speed along the corridor; fleet value at risk slider ($50M-$2,000M) sets the insurance budget and the ship's risk-halo colour (green to red); icebreaker escort toggle switches between full-speed escorted transit and ice-slowed unescorted transit.
