Abstract

Ice accretions on the ship equipment and areas are the most common issues for vessels operating in cold climate and ice-covered waters and it has effect on the vessel safety and operability of equipment and systems, thus ship machineries and structures exposed to low temperature environments should satisfy the winterization requirements specified in ice class rules. The main objective of this study is to review the state-of-the-art of winterization trend for vessels navigating in ice-covered waters. The hazard of icing and how ice accretions affect operations and safety are investigated firstly, and then winterized notations for each classification are summarized. In addition, winterization methods currently used in vessels operating in ice-covered waters are investigated for a better understanding of effective approach and its application. This information will provide a framework for future winterization issues to mitigate the ice accretion phenomena.
