Recommendations on vessels coupling in case of emergencies in polar waters
Abstract
The ways of implementing international regulations in force since 2017 are considered in the paper. The main one is the receipt by the vessel of a Certificate of a polar navigation vessel, which is impossible without the availability of special documentation — Instructions for the operation of vessels in polar waters. The current international acts contain instructions for the development of such Manuals with detailed requirements for each section. Thus, according to the instructions in chapter 3 of the Instructions on interaction with Rescue and Search services, it is recommended to provide procedures for preparing for the voyage and for actions in emergency situations. The approaches for the development of recommendations for the safety of various types of vessels navigating in polar waters, including the analysis of various coupling options that can be implemented in polar navigation conditions, are elaborated in the paper. The various coupling options: in an ice caravan, in shallow ice, the creation of a rigid coupling (an option in which all possible mooring devices are brought between vessels), are proposed. The results of the study can significantly improve the safety of navigation in ice conditions, and can also form the basis for the development of operating instructions in polar waters and be adapted for practical use for various types of vessels.
