Sailing in polar waters brings on new challenges and risks, not only for the ships that sail them, but also for the polar environment and those dependent on it. Through its adoption of the International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters – the Polar Code – the IMO and its members recognize the importance of helping ship owners to manage these risks and to protect the environment in these regions.
Our 32-page guidance brochure provides you an overview how the Polar Code applies to your vessel and shows how DNV GL can support you during the entire certification process. As an extra, technical interpretations from DNV GL on the most relevant safety related chapters are provided within the brochure.
