ISM Code (International Safety Management)

The ISM Code (International Safety Management Code) is a set of international regulations designed to ensure ships operate safely and environmentally responsibly. It requires shipping companies to develop and implement safety management systems that outline procedures for preventing accidents, responding to emergencies, and protecting the environment. The goal is to promote a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement across maritime operations. By adhering to the ISM Code, companies demonstrate they have effective systems in place to minimize risks, ensure crew safety, and comply with international standards.
