Abstract
Floating ice is one of the potential hazards that threatens the safety of seaport operations in winter. In this study, the monitoring data of the ice conditions around the Port of Yingkou in the ice zone of China were analyzed. The results showed a significant negative correlation between changes in cargo throughput and the magnitude level of sea ice. When the ice thickness is more than 15 cm, it can have serious impacts on port operations unless tugboats and icebreakers are deployed to remove sea ice from the channel.
期刊介绍:
The primary aim of the IJOPE is to serve engineers and researchers worldwide by disseminating technical information of permanent interest in the fields of offshore, ocean, polar energy/resources and materials engineering. The IJOPE is the principal periodical of The International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE), which is very active in the dissemination of technical information and organization of symposia and conferences in these fields throughout the world.
Theoretical, experimental and engineering research papers are welcome. Brief reports of research results or outstanding engineering achievements of likely interest to readers will be published in the Technical Notes format.
