Several model-scale tests with a ship model have been performed in the ice tank of the Marine Technology Group in the Aalto University. The ship model of ice going tanker Uikku was mounted rigidly to the main carriage and towed through ice fields. The model tests were performed by changing ice thickness, drift angles and speeds in different ice fields. This paper reports the testing results and different phenomenon during model tests. The measured ice forces are presented and compared to level ice forces. The process of ice forces from broken ice on the ship is also analyzed for some typical tests. The research work could provide guidance on marine structures operating in waters covered by broken ice. Keywords: Ice model test, Ice force, Broken ice, Icebreakers, Ice resistance
