Abstract: Replenishment of the river fleet with powerful icebreakers, icebreaking ice-removing devices and ice-transiting ships, installation on waterways and locks of special equipment contribute to the development of shipping under ice conditions. At the same time, these factors bring about an increase in the number of problems to be solved, among them: study of the ice cover as a medium of shipping, estimation of ice-breaking qualities of icebreakers and ice-transiting ships, search for optimum icebreaking techniques, organization of ice sailing and determination of efficient terms of shipping in ice-bound conditions. The above-mentioned problems are discussed in the present paper.
