The Polar Code is an international code of safety for ships operating in polar waters. It was adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2014 and entered into force in 2017. The Polar Code sets out mandatory requirements for ships operating in polar waters, including requirements for hull strength, ice class, navigation equipment, and life-saving appliances. The Polar Code also includes provisions on environmental protection, such as requirements for the prevention of pollution from ships.<\/p>\n<p>Option (b) is incorrect because the Polar Code is not an agreement of the countries around the North Pole regarding the demarcation of their territories in the polar region. The Arctic Council is an intergovernmental forum that works to promote cooperation among the Arctic states on issues of sustainable development and environmental protection.
