The Ice Towing Manual for transportation in Caspian Sea was prepared on behalf of Agip KCO (Caspian Sea). The purpose was to provide guidelines to ice breakers and tugs in convoy with transportation barges and supply/service vessels in standard navigation and through ice fields and channels, ensuring delivery of piperacks, buildings, manifolds and other miscellaneous cargoes, in addition to servicing offshore assets in order to meet project milestones and deadlines.
