Safety Management systems
A Safety Management System (SMS) is a documented, methodical approach to safety. It explains how shipping companies manages risks to safety on board their ships. An SMS details the policies, practices and procedures for operating a vessel. It states what you do on your vessel and how you do it safely. It becomes part of the way people do their jobs.
The ISM Code provides an International standard for the safe management and operation of ships and for pollution prevention.

Advises from ship owners: - A shipping company with two or more ships needs a system to manage safety on board their ships. - One ship companies are more “hands on” and focuses on to do - not to write or read, and can live without the system part of safety regulations.

The Law If SMS or ISM is a part of the national law the fishing vessel companies must create policies, practices and procedures for safe operation of their vessels.

The conditions When SMS or ISM system is the law, insurance companies can include SMS or ISM in the conditions as a part of your safety regulations. Then insurance companies have a instrument for follow up and reducing of payment of claims.

Money rules.. If SMS or ISM systems: Insurance companies should have the same sort of conditions and reactions, same sort of regime for reducing of payment of claims regarding underlying causes. If not your customers will go for the insurance company which don’t focus on SMS.. Money rules..
