This article discusses the proper implementation of the ISM Code by shipowners, its subsequent implementation, and the achievement of effective performance in order to obtain a Safety Management Certificate, and its subsequent validation and renewal.
As required by IMO regulations, this code is intended to create conditions for safe ship operation, cooperation with shipping-related institutions, and the mitigation of the risks and consequences of environmental pollution. Primarily, this problem concerns shipowners and superintendents who wish to cut shipping costs by significantly reducing the conditions for safe ship operation. The article highlights the interdependencies between the stakeholders and a number of existing or potential problems.
