AVTEC Maritime’s Polar Operations Course meets the training and standards of competence required by STCW Code Section A-V/4 and Table A-V/4-1, as amended 2010, for STCW Endorsements for Basic Polar Code Operations. This is a USCG approved course and meets the International Maritime Organization’s Polar Code training requirements.

During this five-day course, mariners will study ice science, global policy differences and ice impacts to maritime operations. Students will explore the dynamic relationship between navigation and environmental concerns in remote regions. While emphasizing Alaskan and Arctic waters, students will delve into the Polar Code preparing them for world-wide professional applications.

Instructors rely on real world experiences operating with US and foreign vessels in a variety of geopolitical regions. The classroom environment creates collaborative opportunities among polar mariners ensuring each student understands available models required for planning, communicating, and executing polar transits. These skills are then applied while operating AVTEC’s state-of-the-art maritime simulator through navigating across different ice conditions and recreations of ice-related incidents.
