Abstract
Ships going through the polar region often encounter floe ice fields. The interaction between ships and ice floe has received much attention during recent years, resulting in several numerical models developed by various institutes. The Polar Supply and Research Vessel (PSRV) S.A. Agulhas II encountered extensive floe ice fields during its 2018/19 Antarctic voyage. This paper presents the preliminary analysis of the measurement results obtained from this voyage. Ten cases are selected from this voyage, which cover a wide range of ice thickness, floe size and concentration. Information related to ship performance and local ice loads are extracted and their dependences on ice condition and ship maneuvering are identified. In addition, imagery data are processed using a machine vision camera and photogrammetry and image analysis techniques, in order to extract detailed ice floe information in later stage. The findings in this paper provide a general view of ship navigational performance and local ice loads in ice floe fields, and act as a guidance for those who intend to use the data, e.g. for the validation of their simulation models.
