Ice Navigation
Ice navigation is a lot more than justassigning an ice class to the ship!
The entire ship should be subjeted to awinterization process.
The crew should preferably have some ice
navigation experience.

Ice class what to expect?
What can reasonably be expected from an ice classed
ship, e.g. 1A Super?That depends.....
8/8/2019 Arctic Presentation MORTENSEN
24/36
Ice class what to expect?
Ordering a 1A Super newbuilding :
Finnish-Swedish rules:5 knots in 1.0m brash ice with 0.1m frozen top layer
Lloyds Register:5 knots in 0.3m solid ice with snow on top
American Bureau of Shipping:Only brash ice
Det Norske Veritas:Ship specific
Confused?

Ice class what to expect?
BIMCO has requested IACS (International Associationon Classification Societies) to harmonize the Ice Classes
within its members.
IACS has agreed to Common Structural Rules CSR -
for tankers and bulk carriers, but if these ships comewith an Ice Class, they are not Common anymore.
IACS is symphathetic to the proposal, but IACS ispresently stiffled by the ongoing investigation fromEUs DG COMP.

Guidelines for Ships operating in Arctic Ice-Covered
Waters.
Approved by IMO in 2002
Presently being updated by a Correspondence Group

Future expectations

p
Expect ships for Arctic navigation to be of the highest
standard,
Expect the Littoral States to provide high quality ENC, but
would not expect visual Aids to Navigation,
Expect the Littoral States to provide 24/7 ice information,Same rules to apply to the region rather than local
requirements,
