摘要:The “Ice Silk Road” is an effective extension of China’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative. The construction of the “Ice Silk Road” and the development and utilization of polar waterways urgently need the equipment support of polar ships. Nowadays, the design and construction of polar cruise ships has gradually become a hot spot, but there is still a lot of room for development of such ships. Based on the relevant requirements of BV classification society and IACS, this article analyzes the current situation of polar cruises’ structural strength and operational capabilities, and evaluates the overall capabilities of polar cruises, which has a certain reference value for the design and construction of cruise ships that will be developed in the future.
