Abstract: This paper describes the design process and subsequent model testing of an improved bow design for the 28,000 DWT Canadian-built bulk carrier M. V. ARCTIC. Open water testing was conducted at the National Research Council (NRC) in Canada and ice tank testing at the Hamburg Ship model basin (HSVA) In Germany. The data from the model tests are presented in the paper. The test results showed the new bow to be considerably more efficient when breaking Ice than the original bow and equally efficient when in open water.
