Abstract	Perspectives of the development of cargo traffic along the Northern Sea Route, especially in connection with the export of raw materials from the Arctic shelf of Russia, predetermine the construction of large ice transport vessels. At the same time, taking into consideration the existence of shallow water in the Russian Arctic there will be a need to construct these ships with main dimensions of unusual ratios. Therefore it is necessary to carry out special investigations to find out the effect of a restricted draft on the ice properties of ships. This paper gives the results of research made within the scope of the INSROP (International Northern Sea Route Programme) on the influence of a small draft of large ice ships upon their hull shape and icebreaking capability. Consideration was also given to the effect of a small under-keel clearance on the propulsion characteristics, ice propulsion and safety of ships navigating in shallow waters.
