ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel barge construction is disclosed herein for providing a substantially ice-free zone around a vessel out to at least 100 feet from the vessel. The barge comprises: (a) a hull including a bow, a stern, a pair of sides, a flat bottom and a deck; (b) a system including a lattice framework filled with solid insulation material; (c) a liquid/gas heat exchange system within the hull having ducts and outlets from the hull to the surface of the water and air recirculation inflow means; (d) a cantilevered section extending for- wardly from the bow; and (e) a skirt depending from the forward edge of the cantilevered section to below the waterline of the barge. The barge distributes warm air in a manner and quantity sufficient substantially to prevent ice formation under the barge hulls and under the cantilevered sections.
