The Background of the Project
• Following the rapid changes in global climate, the German Science Council recommended the construction of AURORA BOREALIS.
• The German Ministry for Education and Research funded the initial design and planning of AURORA BOREALIS.
• The Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research awarded Wärtsilä Ship Design Germany with the contract to create and validate the design.
• An international group of institutions and agencies, united in the European Research Icebreaker Consortium (ERICON) and funded by the European Union, currently plans construction and operation of AURORA BOREALIS.
• Provided the securing of funding in time, AURORA BOREALIS is scheduled to be completed in 2015.

The Vessel’s Missions
AURORA BOREALIS has to fulfill three distinct and highly challenging missions:
• Autonomously navigate in the ice-covered waters of the Arctic and Antarctic, throughout the year.
• Facilitate scientific research in polar and nonpolar regions in the fields of oceanography, geology, biology, glaciology, meteorology, geophysics, atmosphere physics and bathymetry, throughout the year.
• Autonomously perform scientific drilling operations in polar and non-polar regions, throughout the year, without any assistance from outside.

Main Propulsion Requirements
• Transit over extensive distances (e.g. from Arctic to Antarctic) at a service speed of 15.5 knots/18,000kW propulsion power.
• Continuous ice breaking of 2.5m multi year ice of 700 kPa at 3 knots as well ahead as astern.
• Breaking through ice ridges of up to 15. meters.
• IACS Ice Class PC1 (and above where necessary).
• Robust and simple design. • Well-proven and reliable technology. • Maintenance and repairs by means of
onboard facilities. • Access to all components and systems while
the vessel is afloat (as far as feasible). • Low-noise requirements for research work.

Main Propulsion Arrangement
• Triple, ice-reinforced fixed pitch propellers of 6.50 m diameter and with 27 MW each, powered by a 94 MW diesel-electric plant with one single centre line rudder.
• Minimum 4m tip clearance of the propeller to the shell to allow for undisturbed ice flow above the propellers.
• No appendages to obstruct the ice flow along the shell, especially when going astern.
• Propulsion and manoeuvering devices, as well as deep-sea multi-beam echo-sounders, to be free of ice during navigation ahead and astern.
• Most possible circular homogenous wake field in way of the propellers for minimized vibrations and best efficiency.
• Moderate specific load of the propellers in full power condition to avoid noise and cavitation.
• Good course- and sea keeping capabilities in open water.
• Avoidance of big masses at the extreme ends of the vessel for reasons of longitudinal moment of inertia.

Good luck for the propulsion:
The operational icebreaking draught of 13.25 m allows for a significant
submersion of the propellers, thus virtually no propeller/ice interaction:
• Tip of propeller blade below water surface 6.50 m
• Minimum clearance of propeller tip to shell 4.00 m
• Main Propeller: 3 x 6.50 m Diameter / fixed pitch / 5-bladed
P/D 1.060
Ae/Ao 90 %
Pd/Ao (full load icebreaking) 800 kW/m²
N (15.5 knots) 80 / min
• Bollard Pull 680 t
• Transit Speed 15.5 knots 17,000 kW
• Maximum Speed (blocked) 20.0 knots 50,000 kW

Main Propulsion Arrangement
• Inclination of side shaft lines to the centre line to prevent from ice blocking when going astern.
• Clearance between propeller and shell to allow for unobstructed ice flow.
• Electrical drives via gearboxes for weight and space reasons.

Main Propulsion Arrangement
• Flat buttocks for proper ice flow above the propellers

Station Keeping
• AURORA BOREALIS is also designed to autonomously keep station as well in open water as in drifting level ice.
• Therefore, she is also equipped with six retractable nozzled transverse thrusters of 4.5 MW each.
• In order to conduct controlled ice breaking in DP-mode at very reduced speed, her main propeller and the six transverse thrusters push the ship against the ice until being closest to breaking it. Then a unique active ballast system gives the ship a pitching and rolling motion and in combination with her special hull form, the ice will be broken just in such a way that the breaking speed corresponds to the ice drifting speed. Thus the vessel can operate in DP-mode in drifting level ice keeping its position.

Model Tests
And the concept has of course been extensively tested at Aker Arctic…
... and the Hamburg Ship Model Basin, at a total of 27 days in the ice tanks…

Conclusions
• AURORA BOREALIS features a propulsion system which is governed by the following:
• The special and individual tasks of the vessel and the thereof resulting displacement at a restricted length call for a significant draught and beam.
• This draught and beam, appreciating the propulsion power requirements for ice breaking, and the provision of a 4m clearance between propeller tip and hull to avoid propeller/ice interaction, lead to a triple screw arrangement.
• The triple screw arrangement allows for an acceptable propeller load, high flexibility and manoeuverability as well as to an increased redundancy in propulsion.
