The recent cases in Antarctica (the Russian fishing vessel taking on water and the Korean fishing vessel on fire) demonstrate a need for a way to quickly identify ice class vessels that can respond to incidents in the Polar regions.Ice Ice Baby
The Amver team is busy working out ways for search and rescue authorities to quickly find ice class ships that may nearest an emergency. We just need more ice/polar class ships to enroll.
Help us better respond to maritime incidents in the Arctic/Antarctic and enroll your ice strengthened ships today.
