Lin Wang, Lei Huang, Xiang Jiang

With the development of modern industrialization, the impact of human activities on the global environment and climate is increasingly intensified. Existing meteorological record data show that global temperature is rising, many years has started to melt the ice, arctic and Antarctic waters poles vast land and storage of the rich resources has become the focus of attention all over the world, human polar trip is not only limited to the research, development of polar are gradually fading, which greatly increased the demand for polar shipping. Polar transport ships core research represents a national key problem of ship construction level, and restricts the notion of a country, affecting the new pattern of the world, in the high latitudes of port and waterway will usher in an unprecedented boom, however, because of the high latitudes still exists a lot of ice, the world is brought by the ice load is unable to avoid related issues, if ship collided with the floating ice, in the event of structural damage or oil and gas leakage accident, the consequences are often the immeasurable.
