Assessing the validity of the Polar Code's five‐day survivability requirement
This project is a follow-up to previous presentations to EPPR on the IMO Polar Code and search and rescue exercises by the University of Stavanger, Norway. Additional discussions on survival time and time to rescue have been identified in after action reports from several search and rescue exercises that question the validity of the IMO Polar Code maximum expected time to rescue. This project will analyze research and findings from international efforts to develop a consensus report detailing the viability of the IMO Polar Code five-day survivability requirement.
