Marine icing is the accumulation of ice on a vessel’s hull, superstructure, and equipment either due to sea spray, atmospheric conditions, or a combination of the two. This ice build-up adds additional weight to a vessel and can affect a vessel’s stability, fuel efficiency and maneuverability. For vessels vulnerable to marine icing, avoidance may be necessary and may be facilitated by using Earth observation data.
