Vessels of any kind operating near the poles are exposed to a number of unique demands. Operation in first- and multi-year ice adds uncommon loads and forces to hull, propulsion system and appendages and calls for suitable built. Extremely low temperatures, bad weather and low visibility affect the ship and the crew in a multitude of ways, including materials, machinery, operational process and human factors.
The introduction of the Polar Code at the beginning of 2017 for new vessels, and existing vessels in 2018, was a big step in creating safe conditions for the work and operation of vessels, as well as to protect the fragile polar environment. However the design requirements of the code have challenged operators and builders. New owners and operators are entering the market, in need for guidance on how to tackle these harsh conditions.
