Abstract
At the request of the Canadian Ferry Operators Association, IMD carried out a review of up-to-date technical information relevant to the design of aluminum hulled ships for operation in ice. The topics considered for the review were ship collisions with large and small ice features, ice loads during routine operation in ice, performance in ice, marine icing, and the special features of catamarans. The review showed that the possibility of ship collisions with small ice features has the greatest importance for the design of aluminum hulled ships.
