The POLAR
Code is aimed at ensuring safe navigation of ships and
the prevention of pollution in polar waters. It takes into
account the sea and glacial ice which can represent serious
structural hazards to all ships navigating in polar waters and this
is reflected in many provisions of the Code, including the
application of higher levels of strengthening for polar ships. The
Code covers design, outfitting and operation of relevant ships,
including crewing by adequate numbers of suitably trained
personnel.
-
The "Code for Polar
Navigation or Polar Code" which Transport Canada developed in
concert with other national administrations has been submitted to
the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for promulgation.
Renamed the "Guidelines for Ships Operating in Arctic Ice
covered Waters (IMO, MSC/Circ. 1056&399) ", the Marine
Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) and the Maritime Safety
Committee (MSC) of that organization have jointly examined the
"Guidelines" and have submitted them for consideration to various
subcommittees.
-
Together with the
International Association of Classification Societies
Unified Requirements for Polar Ships, (IACS UR's) the
Guidelines will form the first internationally recognized
standards for the construction and operation of ships in Arctic Ice
covered polar waters.
-
Other requirements: Port states,
IMO, International Association of Classification Societies (IACS)
etc.
