ABSTRACT:
A ship's hull designed for traffic in icy waters has a general form defining a bottom that is substantially horizontal in longitudinal section and has a central longitudinal keel line, and, at both sides of the bottom, sides that extend upward from the bottom. The bottom of the hull is formed with a depression at each side of the keel line. Each depression has a rear edge oriented obliquely relative to the keel line and extending to the rear of the hull from an inner location close to the keel line to an outer location farther from the keel line and at which the depression is open towards one side of the hull. The rear edge of each depression forms a substantially vertical guide surface for ice chunks under the hull's bottom.
