Title: Design, construction, and first season's operation of M. V. Kalvik and M. V. Terry Fox

Abstract

This paper describes the design, construction and first season's operation of the sister ships M. V. Kalvik and M.V. Terry Fox, the most powerful privately owned icebreakers in the world. These multi-purpose Arctic Class IV vessels are designed to support BeauDril Limited's Arctic Drilling Units in the areas of ice management, towing, anchor handling and supply. In order to achieve the required exceptional icebreaking capability and flexibility of operation, a specific combination of design features was selected. The first season's experience with the vessels, including ice trials, has shown that their performance meets and in most aspects exceeds the design requirements.
