Abstract
While interest in commercial activities in seasonally sea ice covered waters is increasing, the presence of sea ice still poses challenges to resource exploration and shipping. To address challenges related to sea ice forces and icing, three ColdTech expeditions were conducted with support of the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel KV Svalbard into the Barents Sea and Fram Strait in the spring of 2011, 2012, and 2013. Measurements included pressure ridge and ice strength characterizations, ice loads on the vessel, energy efficient navigation in sea ice, and icing. An overview of results will be presented.
