FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: ice-resistant support block of a marine engineering facility comprises a cylindrical shaft, a support unit and supporting braces. The shaft is made as hollow. The shaft is hingedly connected to supporting braces. The support unit comprises a support ring. The support ring is formed by at least three rectilinear pontoons. Pontoons are rigidly connected by their ends. The support ring is rigidly fixed to the cylindrical shaft by hollow radial spacers. Supporting braces are rigidly connected to the support ring by lower ends. Pontoons of the support ring, radial spacers, a cylindrical shaft and hollow supporting braces are made as capable of their floatability adjustment from positive to negative one.
