This  research  considers  a  fundamentally  new  technology  of  automatic  determination  of  ice  border  and  classification  of  ice  cover  based  on  satellite  images  in  the  visible  and  near-infrared  ranges  for its  subsequent  presentation  in  Fishery  Monitoring  System  (FMS)  mapping  services.  The  paper  describes  the  stages  of  methodology  development  for  determining  automatic  classification  based  on  the  analysis of two-dimensional histograms. The presented histograms were based on normalized indices. Particular attention is paid to comparative seasonal analysis of histograms. Preliminary results of auto-matic  classification  are  presented  as  part  of  the  Service  for  the  provision  of  classification  of  ice  cover which is based on satellite data integrated in the FMS mapping interface. The paper proposes the ways of further development of automatic classification of ice cover and FMS services related to the presentation of ice conditions.
