Ice Buoy Demonstration Program.

Abstract

The objectives of the ice buoy demonstration project, supporting the Great Lakes Season Extension Demonstration Program, were to test and evaluate modified standard Coast Guard aids-to-navigation buoys for use in the Great Lakes during the winter navigation season. Four standard lighted buoys were modified to increase survivability in the ice. The success of a buoy/mooring is a function of both the buoy shape and ice conditions at the deployment location.
