ABSTRACT:
For reducing the adhesive and frictional forces of snow and ice acting on the outer hull plating of an icebreaker and in particular static frictional forces when the ship becomes stuck in the ice, use is made of heating sources present and available in the hull, in order to keep warm the critical outer hull plating zones, a mixture of outside water and hot exhaust gases from the engines being ejected in the critical outer plating zone.
