Mitigating ice adhesion on offshore and port structures is crucial for ensuring their safety and operational efficiency in cold climates. Ice adhesion, the molecular attraction between ice and a surface, can lead to increased structural loads, reduced stability, and restricted functionality. This work provides an overview of the different concepts, including the nature of ice adhesion, its consequences on structures, and effective strategies to minimize it. The strategies include surface coatings, surface roughness modifications, heating systems, de-icing and anti-icing systems, structural design considerations, and regular maintenance. These approaches aim to reduce ice adhesion, facilitate ice shedding, and enhance the resilience of offshore and port structures. By implementing these strategies, the integrity and performance of these critical infrastructures can be maintained, ensuring safe operations and supporting transportation and energy production in cold regions.
