Classification of ice-retaining devices has been presented; they allow docking vessels when there is a lot of ice in the water area. Schemes of the devices designed for closing the ends of floating docks are provided. They reduce the amount of draughts on the pontoon deck, which is especially relevant throughout cold autumn, partly winter, and spring. Schemes of the staff structures of dock scaffoldings are presented; the requirements for them are also described.
