Class 1 & 2 Oral Answers ( Part 24 )
The International Safety Management (ISM) Code means the International Management Code for
the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention adopted by the International Maritime
Organization by resolution A.741 (18).
The ISM Code is the standard for establishing a system for the safe management and operation of
vessels and for pollution prevention.
It sets rules for the organization of the owner or company management in relation to safety and
pollution prevention, and for the implementation of a Safety Management System (SMS).
The system will have to be approved by the flag Administration, or an organization recognized by
it (normally Classification Societies), then a Certificate is issued.
An owner can manage his own ship or appoint a management company, but for the first time, the
owner or company ashore (the office – not just the ship) has to be approved and have a Certificate
(DOC).
TO WHOM IT APPLIES
It is mandatory for cargo ships over 500 Gross Tons, passenger ships, tankers, high-speed craft
over 500GT and larger ships.
Implemented in 1st July, 1998. Full force from 1st July 2002.
The management company or owner ashore and the ship must comply with the requirements of the
ISM Code, and the ship must be operated by a person or company holding a Document of
Compliance.
OBJECTIVES
ISM Code contains general guidelines on which the SMS should be based, and owners and masters
should have no problem in developing a SMS which is practical and which relates exactly to the
particular vessel.
The following quote from the Code serves to illustrate the general broad terms of wording of the
ISM Code:
9
Class 1 & 2 Oral Answers ( Part 24 )
Recognizing that no two shipping companies or shipowners are the same, and that ships operate
under a wide range of different conditions, the Code is based on general principals.
The Code is expressed in broad terms so that it can have a widespread application. Clearly,
different levels of management, whether shore based or at sea, will require varying levels of
knowledge and awareness of the items outlined.
THE DETAILS.
GENERAL
DESIGNATED PERSONS.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.
DOCUMENTATION.
Certification:
The Companies DOC is valid for 5 years, and subject to annual verification.
The Safety Management Certificate is valid for 5 years, and subject to at least one intermediate
verification and the validity of the Companies DOC.
1. GENERAL.
10
Class 1 & 2 Oral Answers ( Part 24 )
As a general object, the SMS should ensure compliance with mandatory rules and regulations, and
that applicable codes, guidelines and standards recommended by the IMO, Flag Administrations,
Classification Societies and Maritime Industry Organizations are taken into account.
The responsibilities of the owner or manager, and the masters, are documented, and there is
absolutely no room for conflict between the ‘office’ and the ship.
The SMS will normally be drawn up so as to best suit the particular type of operation of the yacht
and the owners or managers. It must be straightforward, based on normal ways of working, and it
must be practical – it must work and be shown to work.
The SMS to be a written description and details which covers the normal operating procedures
adopted for the running of the vessel, the identifying of possible risk areas and procedures to be
adopted to eliminate risk, and procedures to be used in the case of emergency.
Based on the SMS, shore based staff at the owners or management company office will fulfill the
roles assigned to them, and the SMS should provide for a self-assessment of the success of the
operation of the system. The logging of the exchanges of information between ship and office will
be a valuable part of this self-assessment.
Instructions and procedures to ensure safe operation of ships and protection of the environment in
compliance with relevant International and Flag State legislation.
Defined levels of authority and lines of communication between, and amongst, shore and shipboard
personnel.
Procedures for reporting accidents and non-conformities with the provisions of the Code.
The owner or his appointed shore-based managers (the ‘Company’) should establish a safety and
environmental protection policy which describes how the objectives given above will be achieved.
The Company should ensure that the policy is implemented and maintained at all levels, on board
and ashore.
11
Class 1 & 2 Oral Answers ( Part 24 )
If the entity who is responsible for the operation of the yacht is other than the owner, the owner
must report the full name and details of such entity to the Flag State Administration.

To ensure that adequate resources and shore based support are applied, as required.
The Company should clearly define and document the Master’s responsibility with regards to
implementing the Companies safety and environmental-protection policy, and the SMS should
include a clear statement emphasizing the Master’s authority.
Any system of checks used by the Company should allow for and take account of the Master’s
overriding authority to take whatever action he considers to be in the best interests of persons on
board, the yacht and the marine environment.
