ABSTRACT:
An ice breaker vessel and a method for increasing maneuverability and protecting the propellers against broken ice when going backwards. The ice breaker has two stern propellers and a steering rudder aligned with each propeller shaft. Each of the rudders is individually rotatably mounted on a vertical rudder stock adjacent half the cord of the rubber blade profile length, and connected to a rudder gear, so that they e.g. may converge or diverge in the direction backwards, in abutment with end stops positioned on the stern of the ice breaker vessel, when the rudders are in their respective end positions. The method comprises turning the steering rudders in opposite directions until they cooperate and for backwards converging rudder surfaces.
