Due Saint John Friday 29th January.

Thank you Martin. I check on AIS, and at this time, she is in the Atlantic, steaming South, abeam of Cape Breton Island.
Christian

Great shot Christian !!

Hi Christian, Theo and Arnes - thank you all for your answers. So insurers and/or ports may require an ice class for certain areas, it's not an international regulation which is what I thought... And many thanks for this interesting excursion about the St. Lawrence and the problems which might occur with the cooling water!

kind regards
Jens

It is correct what Christian write about ice blocking seawater-intake back in the 70's, so that engine didn't get cooling water. But nowadays most vessels sailing in areas with ice, can take their cooling-water from one of the ballast-tanks. Seawater from this tank is then circulating between the engine and this tank.

Jens
There is no mandatory ice class regulations for certain areas. With assistance (or as long as you can) any vessel can go anywhere. At least that is my knowledge level at this point on that. There might be however ports which mandate them or for certain areas like in the Arctic/Ant-arctic. My feeling would say that also P and I (insurances) may request that vessels for certain areas have ice class. But that there is a international regulation that one has to have would be new to me.

Tuomas and Jens,I am not sure if an ice class is compulsory.
Since 1964, the Port of Montréal, at some 1,600 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean, is open year-round.
Shipping regularly plies the St.Lawrence River creating an ice free passage of about a hundred meter wide. A continuous broken ice floes drift out to sea, at about 2 knots. To prevent ice jams, CCG icebreakers are on standby at various narrows, along the St.Lawrence River.
Back in the seventies, the problem was the freezing up of a ship engine water intake, thus causing the engine to overheat and shut down. Worst, heaven today, some shipping companies forgets to supply their crew with decent winter clothing.

Tuomas, reading between the lines of your comment you are saying that ships with no ice class are allowed to sail in waters such as the St. Lawrence River in the winter months? I live and learn - I thought a corresponding ice class was compulsory...

It always hurts me to see these ships with no ice class operating in ice-covered waters...
