Background Although there has been a lot of recent attention
regarding Arctic trading routes opening up and
the effect on the shipping industry, the challenges of
operating ships in ice conditions and the engineering
required to do so safely has been known for a
long time

Coating Performance Requirements 9
The primary characteristics of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance are derived from the polymer system.
High build, high solids content two component epoxy/amine systems preferred. Formulated to create a hard, impact and abrasion resistant film, but without becoming too brittle at low temperatures
Excellent adhesion to steel is characteristic of these systems

Factors to consider:
Trading in first year or multi year ice?
Classification society requirements with respect to specific ice class
Ice class coating for ice belt only or full underwater hull?
Use of antifouling system over ice coating?
Likely trading pattern?
Regional Legislation with respect to invasive species requiring antifouling systems

Summary 26
Environmental changes are leading to increasing interest in shipping traversing Arctic waters
Vessels trading through ice require special coatings that can resist ice damage in order to protect the hull from corrosion
Fortunately, for over 30 years specialized coatings have been available with demonstrated excellent performance on ice trading vessels, including ice breakers, operating in Baltic, Canadian Arctic and Russian Arctic conditions.
