Polar portal links data for operators and owners

An Arctic Council working group has launched an online resource to help shipowners and operators working in the polar regions.

At its meeting in London this week, the Arctic Shipping Best Practice Information Forum, which works under the Arctic Council’s Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment (PAME) working group, unveiled a web portal with links to data to help companies implement the IMO’s new Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code).
