The scope of paper is to present a basic conception on formation of grounded ice rubble features in the North part of the Caspian Sea. Observations and on ice field measurements of grounded ice rubble features were carried out in past five years during the winter ice environment research programs sponsored by Agip Kazakhstan North Caspian Operating Company, N.V.

Finally in 1990, ABB and Masa- Yards carried out the pilot installation on buoy tender Seili. The mechanical CPP arrangement was replaced by an Azipod thruster unit and also the main engines were renewed. Since then some 15 icebreaking ships of different kinds have been retrofitted or built with the new revolutionary device. During the further development it was found that the vessels equipped with azimuthing thrusters were able to operate running astern better than before, even better than running ahead. This patented innovation was later developed further for various applications. One of these is the idea of Double Acting Ship (DAS). The principle idea of a DAS is to optimize the vessel into different conditions. For instance MT Tempera (106,000 DWT) is designed to operate in ice running astern and the bow has been optimized for open water. This way the inefficiency (20-40% less efficient in open water) of a typical icebreaking vessel with an icebreaking bow is removed and the vessel can be cost effective in all conditions. This paper describes the development phases of the Azipod device and discusses the full-scale experience of the vessels built. In winter 2006 the two latest installations, Fesco Sakhalin and Norilskiy Nickel, have been tested by Aker Arctic Technology in real operational conditions. Also the experience from these two is discussed. The most recent vessels have onboard a long-term monitoring system for loads on the pod.","PeriodicalId":368689,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, July 17, 2006","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122553020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether operating in open or ice covered waters, a reliable set of processes for abandoning the installation and moving, possibly following an interim relatively safe residence (e.g., in a safety craft), to a safe haven such as an icebreaker, port, or other vessel or installation, is necessary to provide adequate safety for personnel and in many cases also to satisfy regulations. Although there is no distinction in the level of safety that should be afforded in open or ice covered waters, the development of EER for the latter has fallen far behind in technology, regulation, and analysis even though active operations in ice have been ongoing now for many decades. In this paper, a review of past, current, and developing technologies, analyses, and regulations and standards is given. Past practices dating back to the early days in the Beaufort Sea are quite primitive and fortunately were never tested in a major catastrophe. Considerable attention is being given to use of current developments, including dedicated Arctic systems such as ARKTOS, semi-dedicated systems such as Seascape, and numerous conceptual designs. Supporting multi-disciplinary research including full scale tests, model tests, and computer simulation supports this new technology development. In addition, current standards have been developed by Transport Canada for EER in ice, and ISO WG8 is working on a more general standard for the same purpose. The future is promising: ice resistant lifeboats or TEMPSC’s (IRT), various launching devices to deposit crafts safely in or on the ice, and novel methods of evacuation and rescue, discussed in the paper, are under consideration. Following a review of past, current, and future developments in technological, analytical and research and regulatory areas, the paper identifies the major outstanding problems and makes recommendations for the most promising solutions.","PeriodicalId":368689,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, July 17, 2006","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117141895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design requirement for the Healy was for “continuous icebreaking at 3 knots through 4.5 ft (1.37 m) of ice of 100 psi (690 kPa) strength”. The full-scale trials were designed to test this capability. Unfortunately, the ice strength found on the trials was approximately half of that specified. One of the objects of the model tests was to determine the effect of ice strength on the delivered power necessary for the Healy to meet her icebreaking specification. Propulsion overload tests in open water combined with limited ice tests, and the IOT standard method for analyzing propulsion tests in ice, gave consistent results for delivered power, which agreed well with the available full-scale data from the Healy. A correlation friction coefficient of 0.05 was again shown to be appropriate. From the analysis of the resistance and propulsion tests, the Healy, with its total shaft horsepower of 30,000, was shown to be capable of its design requirement. Using a similar analysis, an imaginary “Polar 8” icebreaker of the Healy design was shown to require 85,000 HP to continuously break ice of 2.44 m (8 ft.) thickness, of 500 kPa strength, at 3 knots. Free running maneuvering tests performed in the ice tank gave arcs of circles whose diameters agreed well with the full-scale data of turning circles obtained on the ship trials.","PeriodicalId":368689,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Mon, July 17, 2006","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131096418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods of assessing ice loads imposed on ice islands are addressed, focusing on alternative mechanisms which may result in lower failure loads than using traditional analysis. A comparison is made between the requirements of various codes of practice and guidance documents available to the industry, including the recently updated CSA S471-04.
