Abstract
This is an interim report from a project investigating by
model scale tests ship response and loads encountered
when the ship rams large multi-year ice floes. First the
scaling principles are touched upon and then the model
design is described. The calibration of the model design
is described thoroughly as well as the model ice types.
Measured test results and some of the analyses
concentrating mainly on the influence of ice strength on
the ship response are presented.
