🔍 Key Concepts

• Shiphandling in ice – effects on rudder, propeller, and hull • Differences between ahead and astern movements in ice • How snow cover and speed on impact affect control and damage risk

💭 Think About

• Think about how the rudder actually works at very low speed in ice: what do you need over the rudder for it to respond, and what happens if you use hard over while backing in brash or shell ice? • Consider which engine command in ice is most dangerous to the propeller and rudder: is it always prohibited, or is it sometimes necessary but must be used carefully? • Ask yourself whether snow on top of ice makes passage easier or harder for the hull and your ability to see and judge the ice.

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option matches standard guidance about rudder position when backing in ice? • Which statement is too absolute ("never", "at any time") to be good seamanship guidance? • Which choice reflects the real concern about impact speed and hull/propeller damage, not just "assisting progress"?

Question 1 of 20

Which statement is TRUE with respect to shiphandling procedures in ice?

The presence of a snow cover on the ice assists a vessel's progress through an ice field.

Go astern in ice with extreme care - always with rudder amidships.

Never go "full astern" at any time while in ice.

Enter ice at medium speeds to reduce impact.
