    Foating sea ice (Drift ice) is moved by wind and currents. When sections of of drift ice collide, they became pack ice, and they may form ridges that look almost like mountain ranges. They can be up to 15 meters (50 ft) thick (most of this is not visible, under the water). Icebreakers try to avoid hitting those ridges whenever possible. But sometimes the only option is to go through the ridge.

    It's probably not practical and someone has surely already thought this idea but I wonder- what if you had a second hull for the front breaker end that could retract when not breaking ice or the opposite- it retracts when not in the open Sea, so you can reshape the front for optimal ice-breaking and open sea travel. Of course, I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about beyond this video- so I'm just throwing poo at the wall :P

    nuclear is the way for shipping industry but requires a special crew we could reduce a lot of emissions just by going nuclear ships

    • @wumi2419
      @wumi2419 День тому

      Most companies won't do it because of increase in crew cost (additional guard and better engineers), and it also doesn't really matter outside of northern sea route because other shipping routes are better suited for ships refueling on the way.
      Also mega-ships which have similar power need to a nuclear reactor might be going out of fashion.
      Emissions will likely be reduced until one of such ships is damaged due to some sort of military action, which will cause enough pushback from the public for nuclear powered ships to be prohibited entirely.

    • @patricklinsley3676
      @patricklinsley3676 2 місяці тому

      Small amount just due to how large ice sheets are and that they would likely refreeze after the shup passes.
      One of the bigger issues scientists are worried about (atleast if we start doing more shipping through the arctic) is black carbon from diesel exhaust scattering onto large areas of glaciers, changing albedo of the ice, and making it melt faster.
