Paper presented at the OTC Arctic Technology Conference, November 5–7, 2018
Paper Number: OTC-29162-MS
...Abstract Abstract The IMO Polar Code requires operators to consider the hazards associated with the specific environment of operation in Polar waters. Various sources of climate and environmental data are publicly available to quantify environmental hazards. This study considers an example Ice...

... operation. The first propulsion solutions were modifications of well proven technology. We had fixed pitch and controllable pitch propellers connected directly to low speed diesel engines or through a gearbox. In some applications the propeller was equipped with a nozzle. In the 1970ies and 1980ies we were...
