In quite a few places throughout the world, transportation by water is an economic necessity.
In those areas that have a cold climate, that water often freezes in winter, making transport by ship impossible.
Specialized ships with reinforced bows can often be used to break that ice and make it possible for normal ships to use the waterways again, enabling transportation of goods and people, as well as communication with the outside world.
In that case, breaking the ice is breaking the "walls" that block you from the outside world.
Hence you should understand the use of "breaking the ice" in social interaction. An icebreaker enables you to comfortably get within someone's personal space and from that moment, communication is much easier.
