    This document discusses icing allowances that should be included in the stability information for ships operating in areas where ice formation is possible. It outlines the areas where a full or half icing allowance should be applied based on latitude. A full icing allowance assumes 30kg/m^2 of ice on horizontal surfaces and 15kg/m^2 on vertical surfaces above the waterline. A half icing allowance is half of these values. An example calculation is provided to demonstrate how to determine the effective GM and displacement that accounts for icing.

    ICING ALLOWANCES

    (Ref: 'LOAD LINE - Instructions for the Guidance of Surveyors' Pages 39-40; MCA 1999
    London; The Stationary Office.)

    The stability information book of any ship, which may trade in an area where ice may form
    should contain information that indicates the effect of the formation of ice on exposed hull,
    superstructures, houses, deck cargo etc. This must be calculated as either a full icing
    allowance or a half icing allowance.

    Areas applicable
    The full icing allowance should be applied:
    (a) North of 66º 30' N between the Norwegian coast and 10º W.
    (b) North of 63º N between 10º W and 28º W.
    (c) North of 45º N between 28º W and the North American coast.
    (d) North of the European, North American and Asian continents outside of the limits of
    longitude in (a), (b) and (c).
    (e) The Sea of Okhotsk, Bering Sea and Gulf of Tartary.
    (f) South of 60º S.

    The half icing allowance should be applied:


    (a) In the areas north of 61º N, between the Norwegian coast and 28º W, south of the
    areas to which the full allowance applies.
    (b) Elsewhere in seasonal winter zones, as agreed by the MCA and owners.

    The amount of the allowance


    The full allowance assumes:
    (a) That all exposed horizontal surfaces (decks, tops of houses and deck cargo) are
    carrying an ice weight of 30 kg/m2.
    (b) That vertical surfaces are carrying a weight equivalent to 15 kg/m 2 on the lateral area
    on one side of the ship (hull, houses, and deck cargo) above the waterline.

    The half icing allowance should be taken as one half of these values.

    The centre of gravity of each area of ice formation has to be estimated in order that
    the moment about the keel of each part of ice weight can be calculated.

    Ice on booms, stays, rails etc. should be allowed for as 5% of the weight on vertical
    surfaces, and the vertical moment of this ice allowed for as 10% of the moment due to
    formation on vertical surfaces.

    EXAMPLE
    A ship displaces 31700 t and is loaded such that the solid KG is 9.12 m. KM is 9.46 m and
    total FSM's are estimated to be 2050 t-m at the worst anticipated stage of the voyage. The
    vessel is to enter an area where the full icing allowance applies.

    Ship details are as follows:

    Main deck 3100 m2 at Kg 16.2 m;


    2nd deck 60 m2 at Kg 18.6 m;
    3rd deck 42 m2 at Kg 21.0 m;
    Bridge deck 48 m2 at Kg 23.4 m;
    Monkey island 56 m2 at Kg 25.8 m;

    Lateral exposed area above the waterline is 860 m2 at a Kg of 13.64 m.

    Calculate the effective GM and displacement that will allow for icing.
