Abstract: Experimental methods play a decisive role in investigating the ice-going qualities of ships, which can be explained by the complexity of the interaction of a ship and an ice cover. Among them the most trustworthy is the method of full-scale tests which is distinguished by a number of peculiarities, requires a thorough preparation and involves considerable expenses. Efficiency of full-scale tests can be significantly increased if their organization, fulfilment and data processing are based on the principles of the theory of experimental design. This paper discusses the peculiarities of applying the said principles to organization of full-scale tests of river icebreakers.
