Abstract: An overview of design principles of ships for ice waters and cold climate environments. What does this mean for various topics like ship types in ice, hull shapes, propulsion/machinery, wheelhouse design, and icing. The idea is to compare the difference between open water and ice conditions design principles.

Bio: Pentti Kujala is a professor of marine technology (safety) at the Aalto University, School of Engineering, since 2006. He has been the head of the Marine Technology research group and since May 2017 he has been also Vice Dean of Research for the School of Engineering. He has about 40 years of research experience related to the design of marine structures and ships for open water and for ice. He is chairing a new center of Excellence for Arctic shipping and operations (CEPOLAR) funded by Lloyd’s Register Foundation 2013-2022. He has been working before e.g. at Lloyd´s Register of Shipping in London, VTT in Finland and Aker Yards in Finland. He got the degree of doctor of technology in Naval Architecture at Helsinki University of Technology in 1994. Main research interests have been devoted to the risk analysis of marine operations both in open water and in ice and the development of innovative structural solutions for various types of ships.
