SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Shipboard Management System as far as Safety and Prevention of pollution are concerned must comply as a minimum with the standards defined in the IMO ISM Code.
Shipboard Safety Management System documentation ( Ship Procedures Manual, Company instructions, Safety Manuals, Bridge Organization Manual, Cargo Handling Manual, Machinery Operation Instructions, Equipment Maintenance Procedures, Training and Emergency Manual, Reporting Forms, records of drills and test, and whatever required ) should confirm a satisfactory implementation of a reliable Safety Management System.

The File of Enhanced Survey Program should be properly maintained on board in a standard format as per IMO RES. A.744(18).
Emergency Procedures must be available on board covering, as a minimum, steps to be taken in the event of pollution, collision, fire, grounding, explosion, flooding, toxic cargo spill and vapour emission.
An adequate recording of onboard events must be maintained in appropriate Deck and Engine Log Books. Events registration should be done in such manner in order to consent the reconstruction of on board activities either at sea and alongside.
