• Glacial ice impacts: Part II: Damage assessment and ice-structure interactions in accidental limit states (ALS) 

      Yu, Zhaolong; Lu, Wenjun; van den Berg, Marnix; Amdahl, Jørgen; Løset, Sveinung (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-28)
      Floating glacial ice features of various sizes pose a substantial threat to the structural integrity of offshore structures in ice-prone regions. Relatively small ice feathers, e.g., bergy bits and growlers, are a major concern because they are more difficult to detect by marine radars and perform concurrent ice management operations, especially in extreme sea states.<p> <p>This two-part companion ...
    • Ice intelligence retrieval by remote sensing - Possibilities and challenges in an operational setting 

      Skarbø, Runa A.; Løset, Sveinung (Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017)
      Detecting ice drift velocity when operating offshore in ice-covered waters is crucial during marine operations, as ice actions affect station keeping and ice management. Furthermore, other ice data/intelligence such as ice concentration and thickness are important parameters to determine ice resistance, evaluate performance of icebreakers and predict ice actions on structures. Different sensors are ...
    • Marine icing observed on KV Nordkapp during a cold air outbreak with a developing polar low in the Barents sea. 

      Samuelsen, Eirik Mikal; Løset, Sveinung; Edvardsen, Kåre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06)
      Marine icing is a phenomenon that may occur for temperatures below subfreezing where sea spray either is lofted from the sea surface or being generated by waves interacting with a ship or a structure. On a voyage from Tromsø to the waters east of Bjørnøya late February 1987, the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel KV Nordkapp experienced heavy icing due to a polar low that raged over these waters during ...
