What is the Polar Code and why is it important for polar navigation?
The Polar Code is a set of rules for ships that travel in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. It was created to keep ships and their crews safe and to protect the delicate environment in these cold areas. The Polar Code includes important guidelines for how ships should be designed, how crews should be trained, and what to do in emergencies.
- Safety: The Polar Code helps ensure that crews are ready for the tough conditions in polar waters, like freezing temperatures and ice.
