Atmospheric icing

There are several sources of the superstructure icing. Sea-spray icing can affect the structure to a height of 50 ft above the waterline. Ice formed from fog or rain can accumulate on any exposed surface. Superstructure icing should be considered in platform wind force calculations.

In addition, in some specific cases, the accidental presence of icebergs may limit the options of different mooring systems.
