This revised, second edition of 'The Ice Navigation Manual' is the definitive guide for ships operating in ice. Fully updated, with input from leading industry experts and passenger and research ship Masters, it outlines both the geography and characteristics of ice and provides practical guidance for the ship and its crew.
The book is divided into three main sections.
Part One covers ice types and regions, including detailed maps, information on seasonal trends and major routes and ice ports.
Part Two outlines regulations and guidance. It includes:
Guidance on preparing a ship for ice, including operational considerations such as ballast water management
guidance on preparing a crew for ice, including training, requirements for appropriate clothing and PPE (all in adherence with the STCW Convention and associated STCW Code)
regional and international regulations and regulatory guidance, including the Polar Code, ballast water regulations, biofouling, underwater radiated noise and SOLAS and MARPOL
information on ice class ships, including icebreakers and mooring equipment
forecasting information, including updated satellite imagery, ice forecasts and ice charts and international and SOLAS requirements for ice reporting.
Part Three covers practical considerations, including:
Updated guidance on navigation, passage planning and watchkeeping (including new charts, imagery and radar/POLARIS)
ship handling and ship operations
working with ice breakers
pollution prevention and response.
The guide also includes practical checklists for both the deck and engine departments.
BIMCO
BIMCO is the world's largest direct-membership organisation for shipowners, charterers, shipbrokers and agents. In total, around 60% of the world?s merchant fleet is a BIMCO member, measured by tonnage (weight of the unloaded ships).
The organisation has NGO status and is based in Copenhagen, Denmark, with offices in Athens, Singapore and Shanghai.
With around 1900 member companies across 120 countries, from the largest shipowners in the world to small local port agents and law firms, BIMCO represents a wide range of maritime companies and organisations.
BIMCO's goal is to secure a level playing field for the global shipping industry. BIMCO therefore works to promote and secure global standards and regulations for the maritime sector. The organisation?s century long effort into creating standard contracts and clauses is an expression of that aim.
Witherbys
Witherbys titles are developed using scripts developed by technical experts that are peer reviewed within work groups. Typically, they seek to improve understanding of the regulations, recommendations and guidelines issued by Industry.
Witherbys staff have significant expertise in the fields of navigation and hazardous cargoes as well as in the presentation of complex subjects in a graphic and easy to understand manner.
