In the 1970s, observations and tests of the first self-propelled and non-propelled hovercrafts destroying ice cover were carried out. Model and full-scale experiments were conducted abroad (USA, Canada, Finland, etc.) and in Russia, which confirmed high efficiency of using new hovercraft technologies.The article provides justifications for the applicability of these technologies in different operational situations, based on the authors' research. The main purpose of the materials presented in the article is to show various possibilities of using hovercraft technologies in ice engineering operations. Two methods of ice cover failure by hovercrafts are discussed – the pressure and resonant methods. Both methods have high efficiency in terms of ice failure (including energy and operating costs). The expediency of using these methods for various ice operations is given: when creating an ice channel, servicing ships in freezing ports and harbors, during ship withdrawal out of ice captivity, when surrounding ships and structures, placing ships on winter lay-up, destroying the reservoir ice cover. It is also possible to use hovercraft technologies as ferries for transporting heavyweights.
