ABSTRACT Marine structures are protected from damage caused by icebergs by capturing the iceberg with a towing vessel and towing the iceberg safely away from the marine structure. To capture the iceberg, an iceberg capturing structure is used which comprises a net having a buoyant head rope and a foot rope which in use is deeply submerged. Bridles connect the net to the towing vehicle. The lengths of the lines of the bridles are adjustable so that the head rope contacts the iceberg before the foot rope contacts the iceberg so that the iceberg tends to be rolled into the net structure between those two ropes.
