Abstract:
      Objective To propose ship icing forecast tools for supporting ship navigation safety on the high latitude sea area, in order to ensure navigation safety of ships. Methods The ship icing forecast model and forecast tool were given based on icing surface thermal equilibrium theory. Results The ship icing risk rank was provided. The risk level was low when the icing strength was less than 1.5 ton/hour. The risk level was medium when the icing strength was between 1.5 ton/hour and 4.0 ton/hour. The risk level was high when the icing strength was larger than 4.0 ton/hour. Conclusion The proposed ship icing forecast method and tool are easy to operate, and have significance for the navigation safety of ships in the high-latitude sea area.
