 c.uk  Increase in the Arctic offshore operations is driven easing of sea i
 ce conditions and improving accessibility of the shipping routes. We prese
 nt a review of the two projects\, focus on the offshore and navigational s
 afety in the high-latitude oceans. The projects develop analysis and forec
 asting technologies to provide key information for the maritime operations
  and marine information services.  The projects bring together physical oc
 eanography and the mathematics of fluid structure interaction and address 
 the likely extreme loads on a selection of structures and ships\, in a wid
 e range of offshore environments\, including pack ice areas and Marginal I
 ce Zones. The innovative capability develop in the project helps the integ
 rated hindcasts and forecasts of ocean currents\, tides and waves. We deta
 il the data requirements and discuss existing and emerging datasets on ice
  thickness\, ice drift and ice fragmentation and data on waves\, tides\, c
 urrents and icebergs). The study makes the assessment of the current and f
 uture states of the Arctic shipping\, including\, trans-Arctic navigation\
 , regional Arctic shipping of commodities and transportation of Arctic nat
 ural resources. The approach uses sea ice drift\, concentration and thickn
 ess fields from high-resolution model future projections in conjunction wi
 th the climate scenarios. For the study we acknowledge support from the EU
  FP7 Project &lsquo\;Ships and waves reaching Polar Regions (SWARP)&rsquo\
 ; and from the NERC UK Innovation Grant &#39\;Safer Operations at Sea - Su
 pported by Operational Simulations (SOS-SOS)&#39\;.
