The overall objective of MORICE is to develop technology for the recovery of oil spills in ice-infested waters. Phase 1 of MORICE was conducted to identify and address the fundamental problems associated with oil recovery in ice and to suggest technical solutions. The work resulted in a number of suggested concepts for oil-in-ice response. The objective for Phase 2 of MORICE was to evaluate, at a qualitative level, the feasibility of these concepts. This paper is presenting Phase 3 of the program where quantitative studies have been carried out in the EU-Large Scale Facility ARCTECLAB of the Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) for two of the most promising concepts.
