Ice Class Vessels with Rob Hindley - #31

<p>In this episode I talk with Rob Hindley, the Head of Consultancy and Technology Development at Railotech. The focus of this episode is on the design of ice class vessels. Rob starts the conversation by defining ice class vessels and ice breakers. Then we do a deep dive into the topic; we discuss the service life of ice class vessels, the mariners who crew the vessel, the arctic conditions the vessels encounter, the properties and behavior of different types of ice, the design and engineering behind the vessels, the common energy sources used to power vessels, the industry for ice class vessels and much more. I hope you enjoy!</p><p> </p><p>ARTICLES:</p><p>Ice Management: <a href="https://railotech.fi/app/uploads/2018/08/arctic_passion_news_2011_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://railotech.fi/app/uploads/2018/08/arctic_passion_news_2011_0.pdf</a></p><p>U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star marks 50 years ofservice, begins Operation Deep Freeze 2026: <a href="https://www.news.uscg.mil/Press-Releases/Article/4385905/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.news.uscg.mil/Press-Releases/Article/4385905/</a></p><p>Froud Number (Froud scaling laws): <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Froude_number" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Froude_number</a></p><p>Fram Museum: <a href="https://frammuseum.no/en/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://frammuseum.no/en/</a></p><p> </p><p>WEBSITES:</p><p>Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers: https://sname.org/</p><p>BOOKS:</p><p>Through Ice and Fire by Sarah Laverick</p><p> </p><p>CONNECT: </p><p>LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrian-dolinay-frm-96a289106/ </p><p>GitHub: https://github.com/ad17171717 X:https://twitter.com/DolinayG </p><p>Odysee: https://odysee.com/@adriandolinay:0 </p><p>Medium: https://medium.com/@adriandolinay</p><p> </p><p>PODCAST: </p><p>Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aspiring-stem-geek/id1765996824 </p><p>Audible: https://www.audible.com/podcast/The-Aspiring-STEM-Geek/B0DC73S9SN</p><p>iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/202676097/ </p><p>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/60dPNJbDPaPw7ru8g5btxV</p><p> </p><p>|-Video Chapters-|</p><p>0:00 – Intro<br>1:40 – Defining ice class vessels<br>4:07 – Ice breakers<br>6:46 – Escort Icebreaker<br>7:53 – Service life of ice class vessels<br>9:55 – Vessel size categories<br>12:15 – The mariners who crew ice cla
