A wide beam, multi-hull icebreaker and method of operation thereof for opening a wide track through which large commercial vessels may traverse is disclosed. The icebreaker includes a plurality of hulls spaced apart and arranged generally in parallel to one another, with each of the hulls including a bow thereon configured to break through a sheet of ice through which the icebreaker traverses. The spaced apart hulls define at least one channel therebetween into which ice broken by the hulls is routed, and the hulls are spaced apart a distance such that a beam of the icebreaker is as wide as a beam of a commercial vessel it is servicing. A conveyor system may be included on the icebreaker that removes broken ice from the channel(s) between the hulls and casts it to the side of the track to leave a less dense track of broken ice.
