ISM Code

The International Safety Management (ISM) Code is a set of international regulations designed to ensure the safe operation of ships and protect the marine environment. Established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), it requires shipping companies to create safety management systems that outline procedures for handling emergencies, managing risks, and promoting crew safety and environmental protection. By adhering to the ISM Code, companies demonstrate a commitment to responsible ship management, which helps prevent accidents and pollution at sea. Compliance is mandatory for all international shipping, ensuring higher safety standards across the maritime industry.
