POAC Conferences have always been a meeting place for lively discussion and sometimes heated debate. Notice of the conference is usually circulated well in advance of the conference and people interested in making a presentation at POAC submit an abstract to the Organizing Committee. Accepted abstracts require a paper, usually 10 pages in length, which must be submitted for review. The reviewed papers are published in conference proceedings and distributed at the conference. Past printed proceedings are sometimes difficult to obtain. The ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) for the printed POAC proceedings is ISSN 0376-6756 = Proceedings - International Conference on Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions. The ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) for the web-based POAC proceedings is ISSN 2077-7841 = Proceedings of the International Conference on Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions. (Abbreviated key title: Proc. Int. Conf. Port Ocean Eng. Arct. Cond.; Variant title: POAC).

The papers have been grouped according to first, the year of the conference; second, the volume number of the proceedings for that conference; and third, the starting page number of the paper. Three different file formats are used as follows:

* POACXX_Vy.ZIP In this case, all of the papers from the POAC conference of year XX and Volume y are grouped together into a ZIP file. When unzipped, the individual papers are available. The file names for the individual papers also have pzz in the title where zz is the starting page number of the article.
