The safety of a vessel is the prime interest in ice conditions and routes must be selected which afford the least risk. However, this is only one aspect of the safe conduct of a voyage. The other is the expert handling of a vessel in ice-encumbered waters, or even when beset in ice. Both these aspects, the selection of the safest route and the expert handling of the vessel when ice is encountered, are discussed in this paper.
