International Safety Management (ISM) Code

The International Safety Management (ISM) Code is a set of guidelines established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to promote safety at sea, protect the environment, and enhance operational efficiency for ships and shipping companies. It requires organizations to develop safety management systems that ensure safe practices in ship operation and protect the welfare of crew members. The ISM Code emphasizes the importance of training and responsibility, helping to prevent accidents and environmental damage while fostering a culture of continuous improvement in maritime safety.
