  1. Tripartite ByLars Robert Pedersen Mandatory Polar Code

  2. Mandatory Polar Code a safety issue • Adventure turism has incresed and so has the number of accidents: • Explorer – November 2007 • Fram - December 2007 • Clelia II – December 2009 • Clipper Adventurer – August 2010 • Trade will increase in the artic area (mining, oil etc.) • Decresing ice cap will open the North East and the North West Passage in forseable future

  3. Concensus at IMO • to develop a risk-based Polar Code with functional requirements supported by prescriptive provisions; • the Code should contain both mandatory and recommendatory parts and that, apart from common requirements, there should also be separate requirements for Arctic and Antarctic; • the Code would apply in polar waters only and ships not trading in polar regions would not need to comply with its requirements; • the Code should be made mandatory under SOLAS and/or MARPOL

  4. Mandatory requirements under SOLAS/Additional requirements to SOLAS • Protection against discharge from hull damage • Fuel oils • Damage control • Noxious liquid substances • Packaged dangerous goods • Sewage • Garbage • Air pollution • Mandatory provisions under the Search and Rescue Convention/Additional requirements to SAR Convention • Other mandatory provisions • Mandatory provisions under the Oil Pollution, Preparedness, Response and Cooperation Convention (OPRC Convention) and Protocol on Preparedness, Response and Cooperation to Pollution Incidents by Hazardous and Noxious Substances (OPRC-HNS Protocol) • Manuals • Operational procedures • Demonstration of compliance Mandatory provisions under MARPOL/Additional requirements to MARPOL Design/Structure/Structural Design and Arrangement Details Ice classification rules where appropriate Subdivision and stability Machinery installations Electrical installations Fire protection. detection and extinction Life saving appliances and arrangements/Life Saving and Safety Equipment Radiocommunication/ Communications, Navigation and Search and Rescue Safety of navigation/Ship operational control/Safety Procedures and Training

  5. Ice class • A Class notation given to ships which fulfill certain specific criteria: • Design of hull • Propulsion a.o.

  6. Hull design requirements: • Ice belt • Scantlings of shell plates • Ordinary frames • Intermediate ice frames • Ice stringers (single deck ships) • Weldings • Stern frame • Rudder

  7. “Umiak I”State of the art Arctic ship

  8. “Umiak I” • Class notation:: • DNV, +1A1, Bulk Carrier, ESP-ES (D), BC-A, Holds Nos 1 and 4 or No 3 may be empty, ECO, dk(+), ha(+), ib(+), • T-MON, INERT, NAUTICUS. • Ice Class: • DNV ICE-15 DAT (-30)

  9. Arctic navigation

  10. Arctic navigation

  11. Summing up • Much work ahead – little time available • Caution when making recommendations mandatory • Solutions should be practicable • Role of Tripartite in the development of the mandatory polar code?
