... of the design for the corresponding environmental scenarios. Measurement possibilities will be explained monitoring the design challenges as ice resistance, vibrations and encroachment of ice. The feasibility of different ice model test setups will be described and the main observations will be presented...

... contact. Additionally the vessel may operate independently in case of an emergency release of the turret due to critical ice loads on the mooring system. To investigate the benefits and challenges of moored and heading controlled vessel a new test set-up for ice model tests was developed at HSVA...

... Arctic in 1969, the question rose, whether this could be modeled in smaller scale. SS Manhattan was the actual initialization for developing ice model tests to become a useful tool in modern shipbuilding. Since 1969 the testing methods and practices have changed and developed together with feedback from...
