Abstract

This chapter presents the methodology and results of a comparative analysis of the operational efficiency of icebreaker ships with electrical and mechanical transmission of power to the propeller for the Arctic region. This study has been carried out based on statistical operational data and stochastic models. Our conclusion is founded on the suitability of one of the traction drives we compared and which are employed in ships designed for Arctic operating conditions.
