CONSOLIDATED RESOURCES OF OUR LATEST CIRCULARS
BLACK SEA MOU New Inspection Regime
The Black Sea Region (BS) MoU at its 16th Port State Control Committee meeting held in Batumi Georgia in April 2015, decided to adopt as of 1st January 2016 a new inspection regime to further harmonize its risk based targeting and inspection system with the already implemented new targeting system at the leading MoUs of Paris and Tokyo.
ISM Code and Planned Maintenance System
As required by the International Standard of Safety Management (ISM) Code, the ship owner and ship management company should ensure that the ship hull structures, machinery and equipment are maintained and operated in conformity with the applicable rules, regulations, requirements, procedures and standards established by the company.
ISM Code | IMO Revised recommendations for entering enclosed spaces aboard Ships
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has published Revised Recommendations for Entering Enclosed Spaces Aboard Ships (IMO Resolution A.1050 (27)) coming into force on 01.01.2015.
ISM Code | PSC Inspections & ISM related deficiencies
An effective Safety Management System (SMS) onboard, well supported by company resources, will significantly reduce the likelihood of the ship being detained. Port State Control detentions due to ISM failures are becoming more common as the authorities are combining deficiencies to justify detaining the ship.
