Polar ICE - Implementation, Compliance and Enforcement
The IMO Polar Code (PC) entered into force in January 2017. It is the first binding international regulation setting out minimum international safety and pollution prevention requirements for ships operating in polar waters.
The project will examine the issues related to different interpretations of PC, with focus on goal-based vs. prescriptive requirements, especially in reference to crew training and life-saving appliances (LSA). The objective is to develop a better understanding of differences in PC interpretation and knowledge gaps that are influencing on effective and consistent PC implementation and generate knowledge that will assist in better harmonisation and implementation of PC.
