How does the ISM Code apply to maritime companies?
The ISM Code requires shipping companies to implement a Safety Management System (SMS).
This system must :
1. Identify risks to the safety of operations and the environment.
2. Implement procedures to minimise these risks.
3. Train crews and staff in safety procedures.
4. Carry out internal and external audits to ensure compliance with standards.
5. Ensure traceability and continuous improvement of safety processes.
The IMO also requires a Safety Management Certificate (SMC) for ships, issued after an assessment of compliance with the ISM Code.
How does the BoatOn Book make it easier to monitor ISM Code standards?
The BoatOn Book marine management solution helps companies and captains manage and monitor ISM Code requirements through :
- Centralised management of procedures and documents relating to compliance with the ISM Code, facilitating traceability and access to essential information.
- Automated reminders and follow-up for safety audits, compliance checks and procedure updates.
- A simple and intuitive interface to track and record audits, facilitate reporting and manage crew and safety information.
- HR tracking for seafarers to make it easier to manage pay slips, working hours and holidays.
