THE ICEBREAKING CARGO VESSEL--A PROPOSED NEW HULL FORM

The article describes a new ice-breaking cargo ship hull form which breaks ice from underneath instead of the conventional method which uses the weight of the ship riding up on the ice to break down and through the ice. Disadvantages of the conventional method are given, and advantages of using the new ice-breaking hull, such as an increase in the width of the channel that is broken and the reduced amount of power required to break through the ice.
