Forecast of Types of Ice Conditions for the First Half Navigation of 2016 (June-August)

In the first half of navigation in the Arctic seas the following type of ice conditions is expected:

Easy – in southwest part of Kara Sea, east part of Laptev and Chukchi seas;

Medium – in northeast part of Kara Sea, western part of Laptev and East Siberian seas;

Realization of heavy type on water areas of the Arctic seas in the first half of navigation isn't

expected.

The development of new routes via ArcticSeas and production of oil & gas north theArctic circle result in demands on:

New ships able to withstand ice conditions

Secure operation in ice-infested seas

The main objectives:

Improvement and further develop guidance

and rules for navigation in ice-infested

waters (e.g. NR 616 Ice Load Monitoring

System)

Development numerical tool to perform

direct calculation analysis ice loads and

assessment of safe navigation speed in ice

(e.g. “IceSTAR”)

Arctic Development


14

Challenges of the shipping via Arctic sea routes:

Lack of experience of large tonnage vessels in Arctic Seas

Independent navigation in multi-year ice

Selection of safe navigation speed

Severe environmental conditions

Fragile eco-system

Industry Request


15

Refinement of requirements in accordance with prevailing ice and weather conditions and requirements of flag states and authorities

ICE CLASS (first year ice)

POLAR CLASS (multi year ice)

ICEBREAKER notation (icebreaking and ice management)

COLD notation (winterization)

BV Rules for ice-going vessels:

NR 467 “Rules for the Classification and Construction of Steel Ships”

NR 527 “Rules for the Classification of POLAR CLASS and ICEBREAKER Ships” 2010

NI 543 “Ice Reinforcement Selection in Different World Navigation Areas” 2009

NI 565 “Ice Characteristics and Ice/Structure Interactions” 2010

Specified design temperature for the hull and equipment

Account for low ambient temperatures, icing of ships and reduced effectiveness of components

Arctic gas transportation requires heavy ice-

classed LNG carriers

Unexpected collision with ice ridges can result

in violent sloshing in cargo containment

system

Damages of CCS are extremely dangerous

due to LNG properties:

Transportation temperature of LNG is -

162 0C

Density of LNG is 600 times greater as at

gaseous state

NR 616 Ice Load Monitoring System builds on:

Analysis of ship and ice interaction scenarios

Analysis of existing data on ice-going vessels and icebreakers damages:

• Damage type

• Damage location

• Dimensions of damaged area

The state-of-the-art ice load monitoring system should allow:

Monitoring of actual ice load in real-time

Selection of safe navigation speed

Ensure safety of crew, eco-system, ship and cargo

Collecting of data base for future researches and arctic shipping development
