The operation of ice-going vessels depends on the condition of the hull surface. Corrosion increases the roughness of ship hull, which increases drag and fuel consumption. The hull surface smoothness is maintained by using coatings and cathodic protection. The cold brackish water is different from ocean water as it has lower salt content, lower conductivity, and higher concentration of dissolved oxygen. These factors mean that the design of the cathodic protection system for ship hulls requires different design values, such as protection current density and protected length, than those given in cathodic protection standards. In this paper, we have estimated the protection current density with polarization curves and the protected length by using Wagner number and dimension and conductivity scaling. In brackish water the protection current density was two times that in ocean water. The protected length in brackish water varied between 10 and 15% of that in ocean water. In poorly conducting brackish water, the current capacity of a cathodic protection system is used mostly for overcoming the solution resistance, not for delivering protection current.
