A literature study of existing methods for estimating the resistance of ships in ice is presented and a review of the influence of several ship particulars on the level ice resistance is made. The applicability of the Lindqvist method to vessels with conventional bow shapes is assessed, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of the formulation. The concept of an improved method based on weighting factors is presented. Finally, recommendations for a model test campaign with an instrumented model are given in order to acquire sufficient knowledge to develop a revised method.
