A simulation tool for physical ice management operations is described in this paper. From the dimensions of the structure that has to be protected against drifting ice, the ice management vessel(s) characteristics and the ice conditions, vessel(s) trajectories are computed in order to perform ice management for a defined target floe size according to linear, sector and circular management techniques. Ship resistance and manoeuvrability in level ice and in floes are estimated thanks to semi-empirical methods. Manoeuvrability results are then calibrated and validated by comparison with model test data.
