In this paper, the relationship between the rudder lift force and ice loads on the stern shoulder of a vessel hull is studied. The study is based on full-scale measurements with research vessel SA Agulhas II on Antarctic voyage 2012-2013. The results show that rudder lift force has a significant effect on the ice loads on the stern shoulder region.
