ABSTRACT:
For icebraking ships whose forward quarter is designed like a pontoon with an underside rising obliquely forward, and having icebreaking configurations on its sides, the hull can be equipped on both sides over the entire length of the ship with balcony-like flanks that improve the maneuverability of the icebreaking ship. The undersides of the balcony-like flanks can drop off obliquely downward and preferably lie at the level of the water line so that, during the turning of the ship, the oblique undersides can break off the edges of the ice. Further, the underside of the bow in the vicinity of the icebreaking configurations can be designed wider that the water line of the afterbody, to thus provide a clearance between the edges of the ice and the hull.
