AHTS "Magne Viking" has become the first vessel ruled to be in compliance with the new IMO Polar Code. The vessel, owned by Viking Supply Ships, gained approval from DNV GL and the Danish Maritime Authority.
"As this vessel was already winterised and built for operation in cold climate, most of the additional requirements in the Polar Code were already fulfilled before we started the implementation process" commented Andreas Kjøl, project director at Viking Supply Ships.
The IMO Polar Code is mandatory for all SOLAS vessels entering Arctic and Antarctic waters after Jan. 1 next year.
