Ice loading on podded propeller systems: calibration and notes

Recent increase in arctic shipping has lead to the increased use of podded propulsors in ice conditions. There is a lack of understanding of how ice loads affect podded propulsors and therefore regulations governing arctic vessels lack the methods to determine design loads caused by ice interaction....
