Givrage résultant du gel des embruns verglaçants sur la coque, le pont et les superstructures d'un navire. 1, record 1, French, - givrage%20d%27un%20navire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Dans le golfe et sur le fleuve, il y a risque de givrage des navires dès que la température de l'air est inférieure à moins -2 °C. Le givrage est produit par les embruns que soulève leur étrave et par ceux que projette le vent sur leur superstructure, dès qu'il atteint une quarantaine de nœuds. En quelques heures, le poids du givre ainsi accumulé est de plusieurs tonnes. D'où le danger de chavirer, sinon de couler. Des avertissements maritimes sont systématiquement émis aussitôt qu'il y a risque de givrage important. 2, record 1, French, - givrage%20d%27un%20navire
