Abstract In this paper, we investigated issues of arctic supply vessel design and fleet composition. Analysis of factors of various nature that influence the performance of the Arctic supply system, as well as exploration the possible ways to improve its efficiency are presented. For addressing this we developed a research approach that joins the holistic parametric design model of arctic supply vessel and the fleet planning algorithm. The last one solves the fleet sizing problem and simulates the dynamics of vessel operation, ice state and logistics features of platform operation. We presented the results of system performance analysis for the case of supply fleet operation in the Kara Sea. Factors under investigation were ice class, deadweight, ship type, the structure of cargo-flow and distribution of useful hull capacity by cargo type. The article provides the recommendations on the formation of the offshore supply system based on the studied case. This confirms the usefulness of the proposed approach for handling the considered problem.

北极相关因素对近海支援船设计和船队组成性能的影响分析

摘要 在本文中，我们研究了北极补给船的设计和船队组成问题。分析了影响北极供应系统性能的各种性质因素，并探讨了提高其效率的可能途径。为了解决这个问题，我们开发了一种研究方法，将北极供应船的整体参数化设计模型和船队规划算法结合起来。最后一个解决了船队规模问题，模拟了船舶操作的动态、冰状态和平台操作的物流特征。我们展示了以喀拉海补给船队作业为例的系统性能分析结果。正在调查的因素包括冰级、载重量、船型、货流结构和按货物类型划分的有用船体容量分布。文章结合所研究的案例，对海上供应体系的形成提出了建议。这证实了所提出的方法对于处理所考虑的问题的有用性。
