PROPULSION IN ICE

In full-scale tests with a well designed propeller/hull configuration the ice resistance may be evaluated by the net thrust of the propeller, in the same way as the net thrust in open water, given the same propeller-revolutions. With a complicated or badly designed hull configuration this assumption may, however, lead to a significant error, and in such cases model testing becomes necessary. For a complicated propulsion/hull configuration the ice efficiency of propulsion has to be determined when evaluating the icebreaking capability of the ship.
