This publication looks at the preparations and safeguards that should be implemented by ships undertaking passages in ice and identifies the issues that should be considered for risk prevention or mitigation. It also discusses chartering and lists the questions to be asked when chartering a ship for operations involving low temperatures.

Practical guidance is provided on ship winterisation, covering cargo and ballast systems, deck preparation, engine rooms, machinery and systems, safety and life-saving equipment and fire-fighting systems and equipment.

The book discusses the difficulties of navigating large tankers in ice and outlines the assistance that can be provided by tugs and icebreakers. It also describes how best to avoid the formation and impact of ship icing.
