Abstract: This paper presents a new type of design for a harbor that will shelter ships in the Arctic Ocean. The ships will be protected against moving ice irrespective of ice drift direction. The mooring structure is cylindrical in shape and is to be set off-shore in deep waters to receive one, two or more of the largest possible tankers. One main feature of this new structure is the fact that it clears ice on its side for any direction of the drift, so that no ice accumulation could form around it.
