What power plants must be equipped with a tug? - Transportation of blocks of ice so immense masses at a distance greater than one fourth the circumference of the Earth, not least related to the problem of energy. Power needed to tow, about 1 million kW (1.35 million liters.). This is roughly equivalent to the power of modern large-scale power plants. As you know, now there is a shortage of fossil fuel. So come to the aid nuclear energy. It can produce large floating nuclear reactor, located in the tail of the "caravan". Energy generated by the reactor is set in motion propellers, fixed in pairs on either side of some members of the "caravan" of icebergs.
In periods of "harvest" of icebergs or the dissolution of "caravan" nuclear power will continue to operate and generate electricity that can be used for other purposes, such as the expansion of sea water into oxygen and valuable fuel - hydrogen.
Finding suitable for transporting icebergs? - Huge "table" the icebergs, the most suitable in size for transport, frequently do not occur singly and in clusters of icebergs. The information obtained from satellites, led to the conclusion that these clusters to determine the place of the icebergs would be best from space. The most suitable for this purpose is chromatic infrared film; you can use to get good results in not only poor lighting, but also the polar night.
In some parts of the world should expect similar clusters of icebergs? - For transportation across the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of America or in Japan, easy to use icebergs that collects in the area west of Graham Land, and down to the Ross Sea. Ross Sea itself is also rich in there. When towing in Africa, the Middle East and Australia via the Atlantic and Indian Oceans wise to pay attention to clusters of icebergs in the eastern part of Antarctica. In the polar regions is hardly possible any complications related to the provisions of the Maritime and Land Law.
When to do cleaning "crop" of icebergs? - The timing of Antarctic icebergs has mainly to polar summer. During these months, from November to March, the ice pack melts, freeing the icebergs from the ice prison. At this time, the tug can move far enough south and get so big before, "abundant" clusters of icebergs.
