In the present study, Full-scale evaluation method has been studied by comparison with sea trial results of ARAON ice breaker. it is normally very difficult to compare the full-scale evaluation results with the sea trial ones directly because the ice thickness and flexural strength are different from each other. The correction methods of HSVA and ITTC have been applied to the evaluation of full-scale result according to the difference of thickness and flexural strength. There are rather good agreement between the corrected full-scale evaluation data and sea trial results in consideration of some uncertainty in actual sea route. The correction method is expected to be validated with more comparison with sea trial results of various ice breakers as well as ice cargo vessels. This paper compared full-scale evaluation results with sea trial results data from the first voyage of the ARAON during her Antartic sea ice trial.
