We have decided to move ICE Coasts, Marine Structures & Breakwaters.

The new date remains under review, but we are aiming for September 2022.  

In the current circumstances, it is impossible to plan reliably for a live event this year. We remain committed to a physical event, with a diverse, international audience, and therefore postponing by 12 months is the only logical conclusion. Whilst fully online events have their merit, the networking and physical interaction of a live event cannot be replicated, and this is a key feature of the Breakwaters series. There may well be an online/digital element to the event, but this will be reviewed in due course. 

We hope to retain all the 'accepted' papers for the 2022 event. Many of them will benefit from having new data, results and findings given the extra 12 months.

Further information will be announced later this year.  

Thank you for your support. 

As with previous iterations of Breakwaters, the 2022event will include a site visit on Thursday 16 September, immediately after the main 3 day conference.  Details of this will be finalised shortly but please do make a note in your diary! 

The 2022 edition will cover the latest developments across maritime engineering topics from coasts to ports and waterfronts to breakwaters, while focusing on the full spectrum of research and study, design, construction and operations.

Given the heightened attention on the ‘climate emergency’, next year’s conference will place a big focus on how resilience and adaptability is being addressed by the maritime sector.

The two previous conferences both attracted over 400 delegates from more than 40 nations and showcased over 100 papers, while also including ‘Spotlight on Innovation’ presentations.

This event qualifies you for CPD points.
