PSC inspections in regard to ISM:


During PSC inspections carried out on ships which have to be ISM certified an inspection of the implementation of the ISM Code system may be held too. In order to have such inspections carried out in a unified manner and scope, IMO has published in it's circular "MEPC/Circ. 354" dated December 18th, 1998 Interim Guidelines for PSC inspections in regard to ISM. During a PSC inspection the PSC official will primarily check the ISM documents for completeness and validity. If clear grounds are established, which may include absence or inaccurate ISM Code certification and/or detainable or many non-detainable deficiencies, he shall carry out a more detailed inspection. Within this inspection he may utilize, but is not limited to, the following list of questions to ascertain the compliance with the ISM Code. This checklist contains relevant questions as proposed by the IMO circular. The list may be used onboard for checking the conformity with the ISM Code for being prepared to pass a PSC inspection without problems and to periodically verify compliance with the regulations of the Code.
