The article provides a description of the unique subglacial drilling and blasting operations carried out during dredging of the marine area for an Arctic oil loading terminal under construction. The works technologies, along with corresponding materials and mechanisms, are considered in detail. The necessity of accounting for the thickness of the ice shelter above the blasted block in the regulatory framework, as well as the water thickness above it, is justified.
