Application - Polar Class
The requirements for Polar Class Vessels apply to vessels constructed of steel and intended for navigation in ice-infested polar waters.
Vessels that comply with the requirements of this Section, 6-1-1 and 6-1-2 can be considered for a Polar Class notation as listed in 6-1-1/Table 2. The requirements of these Sections are in addition to the open water requirements of the Rules. If the hull and machinery are constructed such as to comply with the requirements of different Polar Classes, then both the hull and machinery are to be assigned the lower of these classes on the classification certificate. Compliance of the hull or machinery with the requirements of a higher Polar Class is also to be indicated on the classification certificate or an appendix thereto.
