项目标书摘要:nnotation:The ongoing global processes increase the importance of the Arctic region,which in the coming years may acquire the status of a new European-Asian transit line,as well as become the most important mining region of Russia.At the same time,development of the Arctic is directly related to the development of shipping,since the latter one is the only mode of transport capable of transporting industrial cargoes and guaranteeing the interconnection of the Arctic territories,as well as their integration into the economic space of Eurasian Russia.Currently,Russian Arctic shipping is undergoing a real boom due to the introduction of a number of new offshore projects,construction of many ice-going vessels and active renewal of the icebreaker fleet.Rapid development generates a plenty of related scientific and technical problems.
        One of these scientific problems is the intellectual planning of the Arctic fleet operation at tactical level,as well as modeling its development over a long-term strategic horizon.It is no longer possible to plan an ever-increasing number of ships based on simple expert-analytical methods.The ongoing digitalization and computerization of this sphere require the development of specialized and science-based solutions.Indeed,the traffic of the Northern Sea Route(NSR),which in 2010 was about 8 MTPA(Million tons per annum),in 2020 increased to 33 MTPA,and by 2030 must reach enormous 160 MTPA.The number of large ice-going transport vessels will have to increase from the current 50 to about 200-250 ships.Therefore,the task of intelligent planning of the joint operation of ships and icebreakers is becoming one of the most urgent scientific problems.
        An illustration of the practical significance of this research field is that,starting from 2017-2019,all the largest companies that operate the Arctic fleet began to create their own situation centers designed to monitor and plan the operation of ships.However,IT specialists that work on the creation of such centers are aimed mainly at developing a software infrastructure in the field of monitoring and management control.Therefore,these projects hardly ever have a research component aimed at solving the scientific problem described above.For this reason,Russia is experiencing an acute shortage of applied scientific research focused on the creation of new intelligent solutions and means of information support and planning of Arctic shipping.
        Within the framework of this project,we will develop a set of new models and solve a number of scientific problems related to various subject areas and aimed at the intellectualization of the Arctic shipping,namely:
        • application of combinatorial optimization methods in the tasks of Arctic fleet planning,
        • stochastic spatiotemporal modeling of the dynamics of ice conditions and its application to increase the spatiotemporal resolution of deterministic climate models,
        • creation of models for predicting the operation parameters of ships and caravans in ice based on analytical approaches and artificial intelligence methods,
        • development of methods for direct optimization design of ice-going ships to ensure the versatility and efficiency of design solutions,
        • creation of new methods for simultaneous optimization of the speed and trajectory of the vessel in ice under the uncertainty of ice parameters.
        The scientific novelty of the project is due to the combination of these areas to solve the described interdisciplinary scientific problem.Theoretical and applied solutions that will be obtained within the framework of the proposed project are of a great practical value and can be implemented in the form of specialized services integrated into digital platforms for intelligent support of Arctic shipping.
        Expected results:The project will result in new scientific and methodological solutions in the field of intelligent planning of Arctic fleet operation:
        1.To solve the problem of a joined planning of ships and icebreakers,we will apply combinatorial optimization methods on the graph and take into account the multiple types of ships,as well as their different propulsion performance.The solutions obtained are supposed to be further used as the basis for specialized digital services that can be applied in practical tasks.
        2.We will use the approaches of scenario-based stochastic spatiotemporal modeling of local ice parameters to predict the future navigational ice conditions and form typified ice maps.This task is necessary to form the scenarios of changes in the navigational ice situation in the Arctic on the horizon up to 2050,which has a direct impact on the required number of icebreakers and transport ships.
        З.The project involves the creation and validation of the models to predict parameters of ship and caravan operation in ice based on the results of experiments in the ice basin,as well as the artificial intelligence methods.The importance of this problem is due to the fact that all the practical results of the Arctic fleet modeling and planning are directly related to the accuracy and adequacy of the models of ship operation in changing ice conditions.The results of work in this area are expected to be used in various scientific and practical studies on the modeling of Arctic marine transport systems.
        4.In order to improve the quality of the initial design of Arctic ships and increase their energy efficiency,the we plan to develop methods for the optimization ship design analysis and create new algorithmic solutions to implement shipbuilding CAD systems of a conceptual type.The results of solving this problem will form the basis for practical solutions that are relevant for Russian shipbuilding design bureaus.
        5.Within the framework of the project,we will pay special attention to the development of new methods of ice routing and improvement of previously developed solutions.The work will be carried out taking into account the experience of the authors in industrial projects.In particular,we will propose solutions for the problem of joined optimization of the trajectory and speed of the vessel on each segment.It is planned to carry out a comprehensive validation of the obtained solutions based on the full-scale data.
        The described results correspond to the advanced world level of research in this area,and in terms of the practical component are many times greater than similar foreign developments.This is due to the fact that at present Russia is the only country that has practical experience in Arctic shipping and actively develops the solutions in the field of its intellectualization.Access to up-to-date data will be provided due to the involvement of our scientific team in industrial projects.

    The article describes the results of calculating the characteristics of ice drift in the area of port of Sabetta (Gulf of Ob, Kara Sea), observed in the summer of 2022 during the period of breaking of landfast ice. We determined ice drift with help of the maximum cross-correlation method using images obtained from a coastal radar station. The drift vector analysis was carried out using vector algebra methods. The maximum cross-correlation method was verified and the main statistical characteristics of ice drift were obtained: the mean ice drift in the area of port of Sabetta, the standard deviation of the drift were estimated, and the spectral density of the drift was calculated. It was found that the average drift vector is directed to the northwest and has a speed of up to 6 cm/s. The main variability of the drift is determined by the semidiurnal tidal component. The experience gained in the article shows the potential of using data from coastal radar stations for monitoring, calculating the regime characteristics of ice cover drift and calculating ice loads on port hydraulic structures. © 2025 by the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE).

    This study presents a stochastic model for simulating landfast ice, a critical component of Arctic sea system. We developed a probabilistic approach to describe landfast ice spatial and temporal variability. The model incorporates long-term trends, seasonal cycles, and stochastic fluctuations, with its validity being substantiated by empirical data. Results reveal significant regional differences in landfast ice behavior, with western areas showing stronger trends. The proposed method offers a flexible tool for simulating landfast ice dynamics under changing climate conditions, addressing limitations of traditional deterministic models. © 2025 by the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE).

    The process of forming a pressure hummock is modeled using a twodimensional bedstead simulator. The present work aims to observe the movement of polypropylene plates simulating ice blocks relative to each other in the process of modeling the hummock formation. The design of the bedstead simulator and the modeling technique are considered. The process is recorded by a video camera. Each frame is processed based on operations with vector polygons. The obtained model cross-section profiles were compared with real hummocks. The results are quite satisfactory, which suggests that the modeling adequately reflects the formation of real hummocks. The keel draft of the model hummock increases proportional to the square root of the total area of the blocks involved in the experiment, with a coefficient of 0.8. The intrusion of blocks into the forming hummock occurs both from above in the form of rafting and inside the keel in the form of jets. In the future, the blocks move downwards under the influence of gravity, forming a kind of vortex. © 2024 by the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE).
