Abstract
A surface or submersible marine vessel is provided with equipment to apply heat to surrounding sea ice to cause it to melt and so free the vessel. A series of apertures extends through the hull of the vessel at or below the waterline and is connected to a source of either steam or hot gas within the vessel. The heat is principally or entirely produced by the vessel's means of propulsion. The heat applied to the ice will produce the best results when applied below the waterline where it can get below the ice. This is because heat always rises. Whatever form of heat is used, it will rise from the aperture from which it was emitted and remain in contact with the ice.
