Abstract
An offshore facility for use in an arctic body of water to produce, store, and offload hydrocarbons. The facility comprises a main structure which includes storage tanks, production equipment, etc., and which has a marine docking slip constructed therein and adapted to receive and moor a vessel, e.g., a tanker ship, therein to protect the vessel against moving ice. To protect the vessel while it is moored in the slip, a means is provided to keep the water in the slip from freezing.
