As shipping routes and resource exploration move toward high-latitude oceans, sea ice becomes a major threat to the safety of ship navigation, posing significant challenges to the shipping industry and offshore resource development. Continuous development of satellite remote sensing and deep learning has made large-scale and wide-ranging ship detection (SD) possible, which is of great significance for ship safety. However, existing ship datasets used for deep learning only include ship images in open waters (OW), such as ports and inland rivers. Currently, remote sensing datasets suitable for SD in ice-infested waters (IIW) are lacking. SD in IIW is more difficult than SD in OW because of complex background interference from sea ice. Thus, it is infeasible to directly use the features of ships in OW for SD in IIW. Herein, we propose a remote sensing SD dataset called IceRegionShip, which includes subdatasets IceRegionShip–red, green and blue (RGB) and IceRegionShip–ice region ship index (IRSI). IceRegionShip–IRSI consists of low-resolution images processed with IRSI. IceRegionShip–RGB and IceRegionShip–IRSI contain 11 436 and 9073 ship instances, respectively.
