For marine and offshore engineering, marine ice constitutes a major obstacle. This article is to provide a descriptive overview on the mechanics and structures of marine ice likely to be encountered during offshore operations in polar regions. Quantifying ice drift (dynamics) and growth or melt (thermodynamics) involves complex mathematical descriptions. These will only be outlined here, with ample reference to more advanced literature. This article focuses on the practical aspect of dealing with marine ice, from the marine and offshore operations viewpoint to the climate prediction viewpoint. Toward the end, I summarize what to expect in future decades concerning marine ice based on our current understanding.
