🔍 Key Concepts

• Heavy ice navigation and what it means for a ship to become beset • Typical methods a master might use to try to free a vessel from ice without outside assistance • Relative risk to rudder and propeller when maneuvering in ice (ahead vs. astern, stopped vs. slow turns)

💭 Think About

• Think about which options describe realistic, commonly recommended seamanship practices for a ship trapped in heavy ice. • For each choice, ask: does this sound like something that would actually HELP free the ship or PROTECT the vessel’s machinery, or does it sound risky or ineffective? • Focus on which statement describes a condition that is not necessarily true, or a practice that would generally NOT be recommended in heavy ice.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, consider whether it is always true, usually true, or only sometimes/rarely true in practice. • Mentally picture the flow of ice around the rudder and propeller when going ahead versus backing and when the propeller is stopped versus turning slowly. • Ask which option describes a method that might actually increase the chance of damage or is not a reliable way of freeing a beset vessel.

Question 1 of 20

Your ship is navigating independently in heavy ice when it becomes beset. Which statement is FALSE?

The vessel will most likely require an icebreaker to free her.

The vessel may be able to free herself by pumping ballast from side to side.

It is advisable to clear the rudder area of ice by using ahead turns before backing down.

The propeller is more susceptible to ice damage when turning slowly than when stopped.
