Scan Fjell had Finnish/Swedish Ice Class IC rating, which is fairly minimal ice-strengthening.

Looks like a strengthened keel, i think it was a design that they had at the time, but it definitely looks like it is for protection maybe from grounding, but i wonder if they would break through ice with it as well, say ice classed.

Edit
comment

person
@ Edvard,, then a lot more ships should have that design,,which I see in 40 plus years sailing first time.

I belive this box keel has some thing to do With the old mearsurment ruls. This ship was 499 gross tons originaly.

comment

person
Hmm,,,, don,t wan to make a bet on it,but it could be that it is designed that for ports which fall dry and therefore she lies only on that and the rest of the bottom is not so easy affected by laying on the mud and does not get damaged that easy

Edit
comment

person
Could be also a sorta horizontal strengthening or for reducing damage in case of grounding there in fjords...?

Edit
comment

person
I've seen GA plans of several pallet carries that look like this one - they all have that "keel" - maybe to reduce the drag or have some additional buoyancy...

Edit
comment

person
Denis, my eyes were also about to roll out of my head when I saw it :-) and I can not answer you why it looks like this.

We must see whether there will be someone who can explain it.

What an odd sight! Why she has that sorta "keel" under her main hull? On stern shot it looks as if it was added later.
