“The ICE Pact: One Year Later” –Sixty Degrees North

Note: The MPI image does not show the right propulsors; it will use Steerprop’s contra-rotating propulsors (CRP). Additionally according to Seaspan, the design could easily be upgraded to PC3. Confirmation from Seaspan and Aker Arctic. 

To get a realistic view of the potential of the ICE Pact, I recommend a review of the Sixty Degrees North’s review of the state of the agreement after the first year–useful, but perhaps less than we might have hoped.
