Choosing the best way to deal with the internal icing of ballast tanks is the important task of the designing Arctic vessels. To prevent excessive ice formation in the ballast tank, various methods are used, the main of which are: heating the water and increasing of the water circulation intensity inside the tank (air and steam bubbling, forced water circulation). The report presents qualitative assessment of the heating method and air bubbling system and investigation of energy efficiency of anti-freezing systems.
