Sea-ice Pressure Generation and its Effect on Navigation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence Area
Instances of merchant ships beset in times of ice pressure in the Gulf of St. Lawrence were investigated to study the observed relationship between winds and ice pressure generation. The relative power of the ships reported beset was calculated in an attempt to relate ice pressure severity with ship...

Instances of merchant ships beset in times of ice pressure in the Gulf of St. Lawrence were investigated to study the observed relationship between winds and ice pressure generation. The relative power of the ships reported beset was calculated in an attempt to relate ice pressure severity with ship performance.
