Summary: | In this text a brief overview of how to determine loads acting on azimuthing thrusters in ice conditions is given. Ice load calculation for ship propulsion is considered important due to increasing commercial interest and activity in Arctic waters and ice conditions, like traffic through Northwest Passage. Commercial interest calls for optimized structural design, and for that purpose, reasonable understanding of structure expected loading is required. |
