The ICE Coasts, Maritime Structures and Breakwaters conference series, sponsored by the ICE for the past 40 years, is the leading international forum for the presentation of the latest developments in coastal and maritime engineering. Since 1982, Breakwaters authors, speakers and delegates have shaped the marine engineering sector, unveiling innovative technologies, assessing techniques, making formal recommendations, demonstrating best practice and providing in-depth technical analyses.


The 2023 ICE Coasts, Marine Structures, and Breakwaters conference, Portsmouth, UK, was attended by over 300 delegates and saw almost 100 papers presented across three days. The topics for 2023 focused on how resilience and adaptability are being addressed by the maritime sector, and covered the full spectrum of research and study, design, construction and operations. The papers presented here cover a diverse range of topics including:




climate change adaptation and mitigation sustainability and decarbonisation
construction in ports
working in marine environments
challenges of coastal engineering
coastal developments
breakwater armour
ecological aspects of design
developments in overtopping
storm and wave impact on structures
learning from historical structures and breakwaters
modular design and construction
flood risk management
numerical modelling methods
standards and Eurocodes.


With contributions from those in industry and academia and featuring a wide range of international case studies, these proceedings offer an essential reference for coastal engineers and professionals."
