One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Ice and icing at sea

Ice and icing at sea refer to the formation of ice on the water surface and on ship surfaces, respectively. Mastering the conditions that favour ice formation, recognising the different ice types, and understanding their effects on vessel performance and safety are essential for safe navigation and for answering exam questions on meteorological hazards at sea.
