The ship reported suffering a major engine room fire, which caused the loss of all power and left the ship drifting. A north-westerly gale placed the ship in real danger of grounding on Cape Dolphin, East Falkland. The master ordered the ship, with 347 passengers and crew, to be abandoned early yesterday morning. Working closely with the Falkland Islands Government, British Forces enacted a major search and rescue plan. Commander British Forces South Atlantic Islands, Cdre Darren Bone, said: We responded with everything we had yesterday to assist in what was an extremely complex and hazardous rescue operation in difficult conditions but I am delighted that we can report all of the passengers and crew of the vessel are safe and well and the vessel itself in a stable condition. This was a huge team effort involving close liaison with the Falkland Islands
Canadian trawler FV Saputi ran into trouble during fishing in the Davis Strait having struck sea ice on Sunday, February 21st./2016 The stern trawler had consequently sprung a leak, and started taking on water into the ship s cargo space that resulted in the ship s listing.jrcc Halifax alerted Danish Arctic Command of the situation, saying that Saputi sailed towards Greenland waters. The crew on board the ship were provided with additional bilge pumps to boost their pumping capacity as they battled to righten the vessel and prevent it from sinking. In the following couple of days, Knud Rassmussen accompanied the trawler to Nuuk, standing by for potential assistance as the ships were faced with very rough weather that hampered the rescue operation. The duo arrived at Nuuk in the evening hours of Tuesday, February 23.
Shipping in polar waters The Polar Code includes mandatory measures covering safety part (part I-A) and pollution prevention (part II-A) and recommendatory provisions for both (parts I-B and II-B) The Code will require ships intending to operating in the defined waters of the Antarctic and Arctic to apply for a Polar Ship Certificate, which would classify the vessel as Category A ship - ships designed for operation in polar waters at least in medium first-year ice, which may include old ice inclusions; Category B ship - a ship not included in category A, designed for operation in polar waters in at least thin first-year ice, which may include old ice inclusions; or Category C ship - a ship designed to operate in open water or in ice conditions less severe than those included in Categories A and B The issuance of a certificate would require an assessment, taking into account the anticipated range of operating conditions and hazards the ship may encounter in the polar waters. The assessment would include information on identified operational limitations, and plans or procedures or additional safety equipment necessary to mitigate incidents with potential safety or environmental consequences. Ships will need to carry a Polar Water Operational Manual, to provide the Owner, Operator, Master and crew with sufficient information regarding the ship's operational capabilities and limitations in order to support their decision-making process. The chapters in the Code each set out goals and functional requirements, to include those covering ship structure; stability and subdivision; watertight and weathertight integrity; machinery installations; operational safety; fire safety/protection; life-saving appliances and arrangements; safety of navigation; communications; voyage planning; manning and training; prevention of oil pollution; prevention of pollution form from noxious liquid substances from ships; prevention of pollution by sewage from ships; and prevention of pollution by discharge of garbage from ships.
Polar Code MIWB Basic Ice Navigation Course Contribute to the safe operation of a ship in ice-covered waters, including having: 1. basic knowledge of ice characteristics and predicting different types of ice in the area of operation; 2. basic knowledge of vessel performance in ice and cold climate; 3. basic knowledge and ability to operate and manoeuvre a ship in ice; and 4. basic knowledge of commercial and regulatory considerations. Apply safe working practices, respond to emergencies and prevent environmental hazard, including having: 1. basic knowledge of crew preparation, working conditions and safety; and 2. basic knowledge of environmental factor and regulations.
Polar Code MIWB Advanced Ice Navigation Course Contribute to the safe operation of a ship in ice-covered waters, including having: 1. knowledge and ability to operate and manoeuvre a ship in ice; 2. knowledge of voyage planning and reporting; 3. knowledge of equipment limitations; Maintain safety of the ship's crew and passengers and the operational condition of life-saving, firefighting and other safety systems 1. knowledge of safety 2. understand unique concerns in conducting emergency drills in ice and low temperatures; 3. recognize limitations of firefighting systems and life-saving appliances due to low air temperatures;
Basic training for ships operating in polar waters minimum standards of competence Contribute to safe operation of vessels operating in polar waters Monitor and ensure compliance with legislative requirements Apply safe working practices, respond to emergencies Ensure compliance with pollution- prevention requirements and prevent environmental hazards
Development Polar Code MIWB IMO 08/02/2015 (01/06/2016) RE: review group Polar code model courses Good morning Wibbo, Many thanks for the update and the kind words. It was a pleasure to organize the meeting. I will update the details in the list of Review Groups for the Basic and Advanced Polar Waters model courses. These courses will be coordinated by Canada and developed by a group of interested countries consisting of Argentina, Chile, Finland, New Zealand and the United States, and CLIA. Your contribution to this will be much appreciated. Kind regards, Milhar Milhar Fuazudeen Head, Maritime Training and Human Element Subdivision for Operational Safety and Human Element Maritime Safety Division

Training for ship operating in Polar waters MIWB Simulator exercises in courses Basic: 1. Simulation exercise sailing in ice Advanced: 2. Simulation exercise form a convoy 3. Simulation exercise opposite course 4. Simulation exercise mooring separate quays 5. Simulation exercise tug assisted mooring
Basic Course: Class room (theoretical) Assessement Advanced Course: Simulator exercises and written exam Development of simulators for ice navigation has to continue for training centers to fulfill stcw requirements.
Future Development MSC 96 (11-20 May 2016) deferred adoption of the following: Amendments to the STCW, 1978, as amended, and the STCW Code. These are a package of amendments relating to revised training requirements for masters and deck officers on board ships operating in polar waters. Table A - V/4-1 Specification of minimum standard of competence in basic training for ships operating in polar waters Table A - V/4-2 Specification of minimum standard of competence in advanced training for ships operating in polar waters MSC 96 deferred the adoption of these amendments until MSC 97. Note these amendments will now enter into force on 1 July 2018 (not 1 January 2018 as originally envisaged). Flag Administrations will have the option to introduce these requirements early should they wish
Future Development Maritime activities in cold environments will increase in the years ahead. Specially the leisure industry (cruise vessels and yachts) Offshore development in arctic Crew shortage will remain.
Future Development IMO will continue to work on Polar Code. ISM amendments Regional regulations will continue to develop. (ant)arctic treaties
Future Development Further cooperation between training centers in order to come to standard training. Increase in the use of simulator training.
Thank you for your attention
