9.1 Powering of ice strengthened ships

9.1.1 For ships that require additional strengthening in ice, the total shaft power installed is to be calculated using the following Sections, but is not to be less than required by the Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules in force at the time of contract.

9.1.2 Ice strengthened ships which are to be considered to have an icebreaking capability are to be able to develop sufficient thrust to permit continuous mode icebreaking at a speed of at least five knots in ice having a thickness equal to the nominal value for the desired Ice Class and a snow cover of at least 0,3 m.

9.1.3 The shaft power necessary to provide an icebreaking capability can be determined by the equation:

P 1 = kW

where

B = moulded breath of ship, in metres, see Pt 3, Ch 1, 6.1 Principal particulars 6.1.3
L = Rule length, in metres, see Pt 3, Ch 1, 6.1 Principal particulars 6.1.1
Δ = displacement, in tonnes, see Pt 3, Ch 9,7.2.1
C 1 =
C 2 = 0,9 if the ship is fitted with a controllable pitch propeller, otherwise 1,0
C 3 = 0,9 if the rake of the stem is 45° or less, otherwise 1,0. The product C2 C3 is not to be taken as less than 0,85
C 4 = 1,1 if the ship is fitted with a bulbous bow, otherwise 1,0
h = ice thickness
= 1,0 for Ice Class 1AS FS(+)
= 0,8 for Ice Class 1A FS(+)
= 0,6 for Ice Class 1B FS(+)
= 0,4 for Ice Class 1C FS(+)
S c = depth of snow cover
v = ship speed, in knots, when breaking ice of thickness h.

9.2 Materials for shafting

9.2.1 For screwshafts in ships intended for the following notations: Ice Class 1AS FS(+) IAS FS, 1A FS(+), 1A FS, 1B FS(+), 1B FS, 1C FS(+), 1C FS; and where the connection between the propeller and the screwshaft is by means of a key, Charpy impact tests are to be made in accordance with the requirements of the Rules for the Manufacture, Testing and Certification of Materials, Ch 5, 3.4 Table 5.3.2 Mechanical properties for acceptance purposes: carbon, carbon-manganese and alloy steel forgings for machinery and shafting.
