Mechanical oil recovery in ice infested waters (MORICE) was initiated in 1995 to develop technology for the recovery of oil spills in ice. It has been a multinational effort involving Norwegian, Canadian, American and German organizations and researchers. Through a stepwise approach with the development organized in six separate phases, laboratory tests and field experiments have been conducted to study various ideas and concepts, and to refine the ideas that were considered to have the best potential for removing oil in ice. Put together in one unit, these concepts included ice processing equipment and two alternative oil recovery units installed on a work platform. In January 2002, the final oil and ice testing with MORICE concepts was conducted at the Ohmsett test facility in Leonardo, New Jersey. The unit has been referred to as a harbor version to indicate the size and operating conditions, but the concepts could be scaled up to increase the capacity of oil and ice processing. For heavier ice conditions it would also be necessary to increase the overall strength.
1995年启动了“冰区机械采油项目（MORICE）”，旨在开发冰区溢油回收技术。这是一项多国合作项目，参与的有挪威、加拿大、美国和德国的机构及研究人员。通过分六个独立阶段逐步推进的方式开展研发工作，进行了实验室测试和现场试验，以研究各种想法和概念，并完善那些被认为在冰区除油方面最具潜力的想法。这些概念整合在一个装置中，包括冰块处理设备以及安装在工作平台上的两种备选采油装置。2002年1月，在新泽西州莱昂纳多的奥姆塞特测试设施对MORICE概念进行了最后的油冰测试。该装置被称为港口版，以表明其规模和运行条件，但这些概念可以扩大规模以提高油冰处理能力。对于更恶劣的冰情，还需要增强整体强度。
