Ice Rule Development in DNV n 1871, § 19 First Rules including requirements for ice-reinforcement: - Frames: Additional frames in the bow region. - Plate thickness: Increased thickness in bow n 1960, Several ice classes introduced, in conformity with Finnish-Swedish ice regulations n 1988, Rules for ”Vessels for Arctic and Icebreaking Service” implemented into the DNV Rules for Classification of Ships n 2008, Polar Classes implemented into the DNV Rules for Classification of Ships, based on IACS Unified Requirements for Polar Ships • ”Fram” was built to survive arctic drift by Fridtjof Nansen, who used the ship on his expedition 1893 to 1896. © Det Norske Veritas AS.

Scope of classification Based on published rules, the classification process consists of: n Approval of design n Attendance at the construction to verify that the vessel is constructed in accordance with the classification rules n Upon satisfactory completion of the above, a certificate of classification will be issued © Det Norske Veritas AS. All rights reserved 07 December 2020 Slide 7

Scope of classification n Once in service, periodical class surveys are carried out n Class rules do not cover every piece of structure or item of equipment on board a vessel, nor do they cover operational elements. © Det Norske Veritas AS. All rights reserved 07 December 2020 Slide 8

IMO Guidelines for Ships Operating in Arctic Ice-Covered Waters n Prompted by the disaster of Exxon Valdez (1989), IMO started working on a unified code for navigation in polar waters n Goal: Harmonize regulations for Arctic Shipping in polar waters n In 2002 the Marine Safety Committee (MSC) and the Marine Environment Committee (MEPC) approved Guidelines for ships operating in Arctic ice-covered waters (MSC/Circ. 1056 –MEPC/Circ. 399). n Still voluntary, however the guideline represent an important step towards improved regulatory framework for shipping in ice-infested waters © Det Norske Veritas AS.

The IMO Arctic Guidelines n PART A: Construction provisions - Structures (reference to IACS Unified Requirements for Polar ships) - Substructures and stability - Accommodation and escape measures - Directional control systems - Anchoring and towing arrangements - Main machinery - Auxiliary machinery systems - Electrical installations n PART B: Equipment - Fire fighting - Life saving appliances - Navigational equipments n PART C: Operational - Operational guidelines - Crewing - Emergency equipment n PART D Environmental protection and damage control - Environmental protection and damage control © Det Norske Veritas AS. All rights reserved 07 December 2020 Slide 12

IACS Unified Requirements UR I 1 -I 3 n UR I 1 - Specify application of structural and machinery requirements - Provide descriptions of polar classes to convey differences with respect to operational capability and strength - No requirements included in UR I 1 - Applicable to any ship opeating in ice-infested polar waters, including Icebreakers n UR I 2 - Structural requirements to enable polar class ships to withstand global and local ice loads, as well as temperature, characteristic of their polar class - Plating, framing, plated structures and hull girder - Material requirements, corrosion/abrasion allowances - Hull appendages, stem and stern frames n UR I 3 - Propeller ice interaction loads - Structural requirements for propeller, machinery components and system n Implemented into DNV Rules from March 2008 © Det Norske Veritas AS.

IACS International Association of Classification Societies n Dedicated to safe ships and clean seas, IACS members make a unique contribution to maritime safety and regulation through technical support, compliance verification and research and development. n More than 90% of the world's cargo carrying tonnage is covered by the classification design, construction and through-life compliance rules and standards set by the ten Member Societies and one Associate of IACS. © Det Norske Veritas AS.
