DMA talks polar training

摘要

In early February the International Maritime Organization (IMO) agreed on training requirements for seafarers navigating Arctic and Antarctic waters. The requirements are intended to enhance the safety of navigation in polar areas and ensure the crew is prepared for the special conditions. Details of the proposed new regulations were disclosed by the Danish Maritime Authority (DMA) in a news release. It noted that that ship masters and navigating officers must complete a special training in order to navigate ships in ice-covered waters.
