For a ship to be considered an icebreaker it requires three components: an ice strengthened hull, an ice clearing shape, and the power to push through. An ordinary ship with no strengthening will not risk touching ice at all, no matter how gently. An icebreaker needs a specially strengthened hull to work in ice conditions. These ships break ice by using their momentum and power to push the bow up on the ice. The weight of the ship causes the ice to be pushed down which in turn causes the ice to split and break off in chunks. An icebreaker's specially designed hull must direct the ice around the vessel or under the ice to allow the icebreaker to proceed forward. A buildup of broken ice will stop a vessel much faster than breaking the ice itself. At a greater risk of damage from ice is a ship's propulsion system. Essential to an icebreaking vessel is the ability to propel itself onto the ice, breaking it, and then successfully clearing the ice debris from its path.
One powerful kind is the nuclear powered icebreaker.
