Moreover, it is an important parameter for safe winter navigation facilitating planning of icebreaking activity and operation of the icebreakers (Valdez Banda et al 2015;Boström and Österman 2017).…”

“…Instead, research has targeted, for example, the impact of climate change and opening the Arctic route (e.g. Somanathan et al 2007;Parsons et al 2011;Gritsenko and Kiiski 2015;Dalaklis et al 2018) and operational safety (Boström and Österman 2017), whereas optimal pricing research has focussed on fairways or ports (e.g. Coase 1974;Haralambides et al 2001;Meersman et al 2010), while further economic analysis has been limited to the cost-benefit analysis of icebreaker improvements (Lyridis et al 2005).…”

The costs of icebreaking services: an estimation based on Swedish data

In winter, the sea around Sweden and Finland as well as parts of the waters around Canada, Russia and the USA become ice covered, and ships may require assistance from icebreakers to proceed to their destinations. This paper accordingly analyses the cost structure and estimates the cost of icebreaking operations at sea, including the costs of external effects of the icebreakers' emissions, and analyses the consequences of different pricing schemes for financing icebreaking services. A regression analysis was carried out based on data from icebreaking services in Sweden over 14 winters from 2001/2002 to 2015/2016. The social marginal cost of an average assistance operation (which may involve more than one ship) is estimated at EUR 6476 and for each assisted ship EUR 5304. The same cost is EUR 907 per running hour for the icebreakers and EUR 1990 per hour a ship is assisted. Each additional nautical mile sailed by an icebreaker costs society EUR 141 and each assisted nautical mile EUR 234. The marginal cost is found not to be related to winter severity. Despite the significant social marginal costs, not including large fixed costs, icebreaking in Sweden and Finland is free of charge. The advantages and disadvantages of four pricing models that can be applied to cover at least parts of the costs to society are discussed. All models could create new distortions, but a price per assisted hour may be worth applying in practice.

“…In [5], important issues of navigation with an ice breaker are touched upon, but the method of improving safety is not fully disclosed. The authors of [6] carry out TECHNOLOGY AUDIT AND PRODUCTION RESERVES -№ 1/2(45), 2019 ISSN 2226-3780 a significant analysis of the ice cover of the Sea of Azov, although the issue of systematizing data to improve the safety of navigation in this area remains open.…”
