🔍 Key Concepts

• Icebreaker assistance techniques for ships beset in ice • How an icebreaker uses its own track through the ice to help another vessel • Relative positions: ahead of, astern of, and alongside the beset ship

💭 Think About

• Think about how an icebreaker can most efficiently use the broken ice path it already created to help a stuck vessel move again. • Consider which maneuver would minimize the risk of collision or damage to the beset ship while still loosening the ice around it. • Ask yourself: does the icebreaker usually try to push or pull the beset vessel directly, or does it mainly work on the ice around the vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option uses the icebreaker’s existing track through the ice to advantage? • Which option avoids putting the icebreaker in a position where it could strike the beset vessel if it loses control in heavy ice? • Which option best describes the icebreaker re‑breaking or widening the ice channel near the stuck ship rather than directly towing it?
