A Pocket Guide to Cold Water Survival, 2012 Edycja
Wersja papierowa nie dostępna u wydawcy
This pocket guide is intended primarily for seafarers. It provides information which will help you if you are
unlucky enough to fall into cold water, or have to enter it in an emergency, or have to use survival craft in cold
conditions. It also provides information which will help seafarers, trained as first-aid providers, to treat those
rescued from cold conditions.
This guide briefly examines the hazards of exposure to the cold that may endanger life, and provides advice
based on the latest medical and scientific opinion on how to prevent or minimize those dangers. It is a sad
fact that people continue to die at sea through a lack of this knowledge. Knowing what is likely to happen
if you are exposed to cold water is a survival aid in itself. A thorough understanding of the information
contained in this booklet may some day save your life – or someone else’s.

The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004 (BWM Convention), is concerned with preventing, minimizing and ultimately eliminating the risks to the environment, human health, property and resources arising from the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens, through the control and management of ships’ ballast water and sediments.
The BWM Convention also aims to avoid unwanted side-effects from that control and encourages developments in related knowledge and technology.
The 2018 consolidated edition reproduces:
• the updated text of the BWM Convention, including the incorporation of the amendments that have been adopted by the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) at its 72nd session (9 to 13 April 2018);
• the text of the Code for Approval of Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS Code), also adopted by MEPC 72;
• four Conference resolutions adopted at the International Conference on Ballast Water Management for Ships held at IMO’s Headquarters in London from 9 to 13 February 2004;
• the up-to-date set of Guidelines for the uniform implementation of the Convention developed and adopted by MEPC, including revised versions adopted by MEPC up to its 71st
session (3 to 7 July 2017); and
• other guidelines related to the implementation of the Convention.
This publication aims to provide an easy and comprehensive reference to the up-to-date provisions and Unified Interpretations of the Articles and Annex of the BWM Convention.
