Abstract: In general, studies on the ice resistance have been carried out for the breaking and clearing performance of the icebreaker. However, in the case of FPU (floating production unit) for resource development in the Arctic region, it is necessary to estimate the ice resistance in the oblique condition to ensure safety. Thus, although estimation of the ice resistance in the oblique condition is significant, there has not been enough research until recently. In this paper, we suggest algorithms for estimating the ice resistance in the oblique condition, and we used a predevelopment program to estimate the ice resistance in the oblique conditions. The analysis results of the existing program for ice resistance were verified to be within 10% of the average error rate compared to the model test results. This paper shows results of the ice resistance which was calculated in the oblique condition, and the change of the ice resistance is shown according to various oblique angles in pack ice.
