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.enConventional bowIce-going vesselLevel iceModel testParameter studyInvestigations on the level ice resistance of ships with conventional bow shapesConference PaperOther
