International Convention of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers (STCW) - Certificate of equipement type approval issued by the Federal Agency of Maritime and River Transport (ROSMORRECHFLOT)
The Polar Code
Training areas
- Navigation and ship handling in ice
- Ice Management of Offshore installations in Arctic environment
- Operating of a supply vessel
- Preparing a dock and a terminal for mooring
- Offshore loading operations
- Poceeding in broken ice, along solid ice edges, bumping against ice edges, in open pack ice, in ice holes and in patches of ice-free water
- Following icebreaker (training in watch service procedures for maintaining position within an convoy, maintaining communication between the ship, icebreaker and other ships in convoy)
- Using radar information while sailing in ice conditions
- Using ice charts in ECDIS
Ice conditions
- Giant floe: over 10 km across
- Vast floe: 2-10 km across
- Big floe: 0.5-2 km across
- Medium floe: 100-500 m across
- Small floe: 20-100 m
- Ice cakes: less than 20 m
- Brash: less than 4-5 m
- Nilas, pancake and other similar types of ice
- Hummocks
- Icebergs
Modelling effects
- Vesselnipping in ice hummock and solid ice
- 300x300 m floes movement triggered by the vessel motion
- Broken ice behind the vessel
- Area of ice modelling - up to 100 sq. km
- Narrow the lead behind the vessel among small floes and ice cakes (up to 300х300 м)
- Simulation of sounds of ice fracturing and bumping of vessel against ice
- Vessel tilt due to reeaching the efge of the lead or running on ice
Ice conditions editing
An instructor is allowed to create ice conditions and reproduce accurate modeling of the effects
- Set the geometry of the ice floes
- Set concentration
- Set max size and thickness of an ice floe
- Set probability distribution of ice floes by size and thickness
- Define areas of leads and hummocks
- Set ice strength characteristics
- Set drift speed and direction
Models of ice-class vessels
The models have been verified during navigation in ice condition based on natural data.
Additional ice-class vessel models can be developed upon request.
