Ice class (polar class) vessels
The demands of operating in ice, and Dasic gas freeing fans developed for it.
Vessels operating in ice-infested waters and low temperatures face unique demands. First-year and multi-year ice adds high loads to the hull, propulsion and appendages and calls for specially designed vessels. Extreme cold, bad weather and low visibility affect the ship and crew in many ways, from materials and machinery to operations and human factors.
Critical design factors
- Ice / polar classification
- Structural design and equipment selection
- Materials, welding and coatings
- Propulsion and machinery systems
- Cargo and ship systems adaptation
- Ice accretion and de-icing arrangements
- Winterisation
- Safety and environmental systems
- Crew and human factors
- Rescue and evacuation in remote, extreme conditions
- New Arctic shipping routes
Dasic gas freeing fans for ice operations
- Jetfan 85 steam driven: an adaptation of the water and air driven versions
- Jetfan 65 steam driven: an adaptation of the air driven Jetfan 65
- Jetfan 65 hydraulic driven: a fully hydraulic oil driven machine for ice operations
