ISM / ISPS CODE COMPLIANCE

Compliance with this Code is compulsory for all passenger ships including passenger high-speed craft, oil tankers, chemical tankers, gas carriers, bulk carriers, cargo high-speed crafts, other cargo ships and mobile offshore drilling units of 500 gross tonnage and upwards, engaged on international voyages.

Internal Audits

• We can conduct ISM & ISPS internal audits on vessels, or at company offices.
• We can assist the DPA/CSO with audits, or carry them out alone to the company’s requirements.

In addition we can conduct internal audits on the DPA/CSO department, an area which is often difficult to audit as the respective codes require the auditor to be independent of the area under audit.

We have carried out numerous internal audits on vessels and Company offices.
Our experience in internal audits allow us to identify areas in the SMS or SSP which are liable to be picked up by external auditors.

Important

It has become clear that if a company can identify problems during their internal audits and deal with them in their own time, then the external audits become less problematic and less prone to time-constrained solutions imposed by the external auditing authority, thus saving time and money.
