Lloyd’s Register has over 80 years’ experience with ice-class ships. During the last 25 years, more than 900 vessels, totalling some 14.3 million dwt, have been built to Lloyd’s Register ice classes.

Our experience encompasses icebreakers, container ships, multi-purpose cargo ships, ro-pax, LNG carriers, product tankers and sophisticated double-acting tankers. We have also undertaken various technical investigations on ships operating in low temperatures.

Recent research projects include ArcDev and ArcOp, and the development of the IACS Polar Ship Rules to promote safety of the ship and crew and to help protect the environment when operating in Arctic regions. For Lloyd’s Register, life matters.
