Evaluation of performance limitations for ships navigating to and from Voisey's Bay, part 2: effect of draft on bulk carrier resistance and propulsion
This report presents the results of model experiments carried out to support CCG's evaluations of shipping related to the proposed Voisey's Bay nickel mine. The tests included resistance and propulsion experiments in level ice, rubble and pack ice on a model of a bulk carrier. The results...

Summary: | This report presents the results of model experiments carried out to support CCG's evaluations of shipping related to the proposed Voisey's Bay nickel mine. The tests included resistance and propulsion experiments in level ice, rubble and pack ice on a model of a bulk carrier. The results are used to predict the performance of the ship over a range of ice conditions, likely to be encountered on the coast of Labrador. Peer reviewed: No NRC publication: Yes |
