Ice impact forces on the bow and shoulder of a Great Lakes bulk carrier were measured during the 1976 extended shipping season. These measured values were analyzed with ice impact forces obtained from previous tests aboard bulk carrier LEON FRASER and icebreaker USCGC MACHINAW to give a predictor equation which describes ice impact forces as a function of ice thickness, ship speed and hull shape.
