The Polar Code and the Arctic Marine Environment: Assessing the Regulation of the Environmental Risks of Shipping
Abstract The Polar Code adopted by the International Maritime Organization ( IMO ) has established a new vessel-source pollution prevention standard for Arctic waters, as well as the Antarctic area. The Polar Code consists of mandatory rules and guidance provisions supplementing international rules...
