Oblique Icebreaker Baltika - Ice trials on 19 March - 10 April 2015
Ғылым және технология
Developed by Aker Arctic, the icebreaking rescue vessel Baltika is the first ship ever built with an asymmetric hull that allows her to break ice not only ahead and astern, but also sideways. In this way, the relatively small oblique icebreaker is capable of opening a wide channel in ice.
Completed in 2014, the new icebreaker was scheduled to undergo full scale ice trials this winter in order to confirm the vessel´s performance. Baltika departed from Murmansk on 20 March 2015 with the Aker Arctic team on board and sailed around the northern tip of Novaya Zemlya and across the Kara Sea to the Gulf of Ob, close to the Sabetta terminal area, to carry out the ice trials. The testing program consisted of performance tests in two distinct ice thicknesses in ahead and astern directions as well as in the oblique mode. Various operational tests were also carried out in order to determine the maneuverability and operational capability of the vessel. The thickness and strength of the ice was measured in the areas where tests were carried out. An automatic measurement system was set up to record ice loads on the ship’s hull through the whole three-week voyage which concluded in Murmansk on 10 April 2015.
Although the ice conditions in the area were on the upper end of the vessel’s designed icebreaking capability and the ice in the Gulf of Ob was considerably stronger than typical sea ice, Baltika exceeded expectations and the required performance targets were passed with a clear margin. The vessel could break 1.2-metre level ice in continuous motion when proceeding bow first and could achieve a speed exceeding 3 knots in astern direction. The oblique mode, which had never been tested before in real life, also worked extremely well and the vessel fulfilled all the design requirements. During operational tests, Baltika also demonstrated excellent maneuverability and rubble clearing capability in the port of Sabetta as well as ability to penetrate heavy compressive ice ridges in the Kara Sea without ramming.
According to Project Manager Mika Hovilainen who was on board the vessel during the ice trials, “Baltika’s voyage to the Gulf of Ob proves the exceptional operational capability of the oblique icebreaker concept in very difficult ice conditions. The vessel could operate in ice conditions that exceeded the design criteria used as the basis of the vessel concept. Baltika could carry out the same operations as conventional icebreakers with just half of the propulsion power as well as perform maneuvers which are not possible for any other vessel currently in service.”
Baltika (IMO number 9649237) was built by Arctech Helsinki Shipyard (Helsinki, Finland) in co-operation with Shipyard Yantar JSC (Kaliningrad, Russia) based on Aker Arctic’s oblique icebreaker design , Aker ARC 100. The vessel is 76.4 metres long and has a beam of 20.5 metres, and has a diesel-electric power plant consisting of three Wärtsilä 9L26 generating sets with a combined output of 9 MW. Baltika is propelled by three 2.5 MW Steerprop azimuth thrusters, two in the stern and one in the bow of the vessel. The dynamic positioning system, which also includes the oblique icebreaking mode, has been developed by Navis Engineering. The vessel is classified by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping and its ice class is Icebreaker6. In addition to icebreaking duties, the vessel is also fitted with a built-in oil recovery system.
Baltika is owned by the Federal Agency for Maritime and River Transport of Russia (Rosmorrechflot) and operated by the Russian Marine Emergency Rescue Service (FGI Gosmorspassluzhba).

Drone? Do you mean Quadcopter? Since when has the word 'drone' been a name, let alone a model? Have you ever had an education? If you did, then you should know that 'drone' is a word, it has present/past tense participles, a plural (drones) and a number of definitions. Do names have all that? I mean does your name, whatever it is, has all that? No. So, how the f*** is 'drone' a name, a model, aircraft, etc., then?? The problem is we have too many ignorant, poorly educated dunces in this world, very similar to sheep, where one sheep does something, the others follow. Same with humans, where one uneducated dunce calls a Quadcopter, or anything that flies a 'drone', other similarly uneducated dunces who heard the 'drone' word get the idea and without thinking on WTF does 'drone' mean and says the same thing. In no time we have an epidemic of droned in their heads stooges, all the way to Iceland. Crazy eh?

+Wanna Montana, Baltika has a diesel-electric propulsion system. The power plant consists of three Wärtsilä 9L26 medium-speed generating sets which have an output of 3,000 kW (about 4,000 hp) each. In addition, there is a small harbor generator as well as an emergency diesel generator. For propulsion, the vessel has three 2,500 kW (3,350 hp) Steerprop SP60PULL azimuth thrusters, two in the stern and one in the bow. The units are of "Z-drive" type, meaning that the electric motor is inside the hull of the vessel and the power is transferred to the propeller with two bevel gears. The azimuth propulsion units, which rotate a full 360 degrees, can be controlled individually with joysticks or, when operating in the oblique mode, using a Navis Dynamic Positioning system.

The hull form is highly asymmetric - the port (left) side is designed for oblique icebreaking with approx 45 degree angle between the shell plating and horizontal plane, while the starboard (right) side is more vertical.

Always fascinated by ice breakers. This vessel reminds me of ocean tugs. Do you have bubblers? Would a Voith drive work in ice?
@akerarctic
6 жыл бұрын
Air bubbling systems etc. have not been used since the 1980s; the azimuthing propulsion units produce far better lubricating effect. As for Voith drive, we have tested it in our model basin, but it has never been built to higher ice classes. It would be an interesting engineering challenge, knowing the number of moving parts in that kind of system...
Why does it go faster backwards than forwards (when breaking ice)?
@akerarctic
6 жыл бұрын
This is a trend we have observed in some modern icebreakers. It probably has to do with the flushing and hull-lubricating effect of the azimuthing propulsion units, which is obviously stronger when going backwards because the vessel has two propulsors aft and one forward.
the thruster drive system must be a real piece of work. I wonder how they armoured it...

+FlukeJob, the propulsion units and propellers are more robust than their open water counterparts, and the propeller material is stainless steel instead of more commonly used bronze. In addition, the propulsion motors have sufficient overtorque to allow the propellers to "mill" ice blocks without stopping.
I’m js what if something happened can they sustain the water temperature waiting for help
Very nice. What thickness of ice is this capable of breaking through?

@akerarctic
6 жыл бұрын
The thickest ice we tested, 1.2 m, was already close to the maximum icebreaking capability of the vessel. It could probably break a little bit thicker ice in astern direction in a continuous motion. The hull is strengthened for 1.5 m thick ice according to the requirements of the ice class, RMRS Icebreaker 6.

+Maloy7800, icebreakers typically have poor seakeeping characteristics, but considering that Baltika is not only an icebreaker but also has an asymmetric hull, it fared rather well when sailing along the Norwegian coast in a storm and the crew was very pleased with it. There is a single bilge keel on the "vertical" side to reduce rolling and a passive anti-rolling tank that arrests the rolling motion after a few cycles.
