Overview
With new operators starting to explore the polar regions, and following several incidents in recent years, there has been a drive towards increasing the safety of vessel design and operations. Furthermore, an increased perception that there is easier access to these regions and that they are more navigable, has increased shipping traffic. This has been a catalyst for protecting the sensitive polar environment from the effects of shipping. Regulatory frameworks are working to keep pace and, as such, the Polar Code will come into effect from the 1st January 2017 for new construction projects and from the 1st January 2018 for existing ships in service.
