The growing interest for Arctic and Antarctic shipping activities due to the decreasing ice
cover will also increase the risks of accidents on these waters. The design of ships for ice …

While society benefits from Arctic shipping, it is necessary to recognize that ship operations
in Arctic waters pose significant risks to people, the environment, and property. To support …

Unique features of the Arctic region, such as sub-zero temperatures and glacial activities,
pose serious risk to ships. The potential for ship accidents requires tailored guidelines for …

Overload response of the stiffening frames in ship side structure due to ice loading is an
important design consideration for ships operating in ice infested waters. By overload, we …

Ships designed for operation in Polar waters must be approved in accordance with the
International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code), adopted by the …

Ice loads pose a significant risk for ship operation in ice covered waters. At low strain rates,
the ice behaves ductile, whereas at high strain rates it reacts in brittle manner. This thesis …

The structural hull response of a ship or offshore structure to moving (or sliding) loads has
been shown to be significantly different than that of stationary loads of the same magnitude; …

Sailing in ice-infested waters has become more relevant for the Royal Netherlands Navy
(RNLN). A method is developed to determine the technical safe speed for a single ice floe …

Moving ice loads can incite significantly different structural responses in a steel grillage
structure than can stationary ice loads. This is significant because the accepted standard for …

The number of marine operations in ice infested waters has been increasing significantly in
the past two decades. However, the level of knowledge on how ice affects the performance …
