International Safety Management Code (ISMC)

The International Safety Management Code (ISM Code) is a set of regulations designed to enhance the safety of ships and their operations at sea. It mandates that shipping companies establish a Safety Management System (SMS) to ensure safe practices, protect the environment, and promote the safe operation of vessels. The code requires regular training for crew members and clear communication of safety procedures. By implementing the ISM Code, shipping companies aim to minimize risks, reduce accidents, and ensure compliance with international maritime safety standards, ultimately protecting lives, property, and the marine environment.
