RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE IN ICE CONDITIONS OF NAVIGATION
The article discusses ways of implementing the requirements of the International polar code, which entered into force on 1 January 2017, one of the main requirements to the requirements of the International polar code is a Polar Ship Certificate, to which each ship should be developed Polar Water Operational Manual (PWOM). When creating this document, it is necessary to develop recommendations on cooperation of specific court-emergency services for trauma in conditions of ice navigation. In this article the development of these recommendations it is proposed to use methods of deliberate creation the hitch ships with emergency ships and other rescue vessels to improve its stability, conducting reparation works, rescue of passengers and crew on the transition from emergency vessel to other ships. The proposed methods intentional create the hitch ships can be used on all ships of ice navigation in polar waters, thereby fulfilling two main objectives: fast, self-straightening of the vessel and prevent further water penetration through hole, as well as reduce the likelihood of environmental pollution in the process of this activity is to prevent or reduce the likelihood of water entry of polluted substances from the hull. Based on the results of the calculations proposed in this work, the conclusion about the effectiveness of creating variants of hitch ships of the vessels with emergency ships and the possibility of using these techniques in existing and future ships of ice navigation. It is shown that the use of different types of capture vessels after injury in ice conditions will allow us to meet the requirements of the International Polar Code. The article of the shown that the methods of straightening of the ship with the extraction holes from the water and the subsequent creation of various hitch ships can be used to develop practical recommendations for ships of various types sailing in different ice conditions. They can be offered to the global Maritime community as the primary method for solving problems of the struggle for survival in ice conditions, especially the interaction of the ship with the emergency services, to develop recommendations for various types of vessels and convoys, training of navigators to sail in ice conditions.
