International Safety Management (ISM)

International Safety Management (ISM) is a framework designed to ensure safety at sea through effective management practices. Established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), it sets out regulations that shipping companies must follow to safeguard their vessels, crew, and the marine environment. The ISM Code requires organizations to develop safety management systems that promote safe practices, identify hazards, and prepare for emergencies. By fostering a culture of safety and compliance, ISM helps prevent accidents and incidents, ensuring the well-being of those involved in maritime operations and protecting the oceans from pollution.
