Introduction

4

DNV GL © 17 October 2018

Why a need for a new mandatory IMO Polar Code

5

Less ice in polar waters opens up opportunities.

It increases:

• new shipping lines

• oil & gas exploration and production

• mineral recovery and export

• tourism

• attraction to new and less experienced operators

• focus on the vulnerable environment in Polar areas

DNV GL © 17 October 2018

Increased risk level for polar water operations

6

• The risk level depends on geographical location and time of the

year (ice-type, ice-coverage, temperature, daylight etc.)

• Mitigating measures may vary within polar waters.

Sea ice age 2012

DNV GL © 17 October 2018

The need for a new mandatory IMO Polar Code

7

• Existing international conventions do not include operational conditions like low temperatures and sea ice

• Proposed to IMO by Denmark, Norway and USA in 2009

DNV GL © 17 October 2018

The Goal of the Polar Code

To provide for safe ship operation and the protection of the polar

environment by addressing risks present in polar waters and not

adequately mitigated by other instruments of the Organization.

8

DNV GL © 17 October 2018

Applicability

� The main requirements are related to:

– Safety

– Protection of the environment

– Seafarer competence

� It is implemented through amendments to:

– SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea)

– MARPOL ( The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships)

– STCW (The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers)

Ship category

Ship category is defined by:

� Ship types

� Polar Service Temperature (PST)

� Ice class

12

It is always the responsibility of the Master to ensure that the vessel is operated within

these limits!

Intended to operate in low air temperature

Those which are not

Category A: at least medium first-year ice (0.7-1.2m)

Category B: at least thin first-year ice (0.3-0.7m)

Category C: open water or less severe than A & B

Polar Service Temperature (PST)

–15°• LMDLT

–25°• PST = LMDLT-10°

� Systems and equipment required by this Code shall be fully functional at the Polar Service

Temperature.

� The PST must be at least 10°C colder than the lowest Mean Daily Low Temperature (MDLT) for

the intended area and season of operation in polar water.

� Example: If the lowest MDLT is -15°C, then the PST equals -25°C.

DNV GL © 17 October 2018

Operate in low air temperature

14

� The lowest MDLT means the mean value of the daily low temperature for each day of the year over

a period of at least 10 years.

– Determine the daily low temperature for each day over a ten-year period in the intended area of operation in polar waters

– Determine the average of the values over the 10 years period for each day

– Plot the daily averages over the year

– Take the lowest of the averages for the season of operation

� A ship intended to operate in low MDLT means a ship intended to undertake voyages to or through

areas where the is colder than -10°C.

IACS Polar Class Rules

� The IACS Unified Requirements for Polar Class Ships (UR-I) was ratified by the

IACS members

� The Polar Class rules are a result of a large harmonization effort among the

classification societies, relevant governmental bodies and academic experts

� With the aim of rationalizing and harmonizing structural and machinery

requirements applicable for vessels operating in Polar waters.

� The Polar ships apply to ships intended for independent navigation in ice-

infested waters.

� For ships assigned with

- PC1 – PC5: blunt and vertical bows (incl. bulbous bows) generally to be

avoided

- PC6 – PC7: open water bows (bulbous bows) with operational limitations

(e.g. no ramming)
