A STRAIGHTFORWARD METHOD FOR CALCULATION OF ICE RESISTANCE OF SHIPS

The paper presents an engineering tool for the evaluation of ice resistance. The main parameters that influence ice resistance are already known. This paper is an attempt to transform this knowledge into a useful calculation formula. The parameters included in the method are: main dimensions, hull form, ice thickness, friction and ice strength.
