The International Code for the Safe Management of Ships and for Pollution Prevention (ISM Code)

The ISM Code is an international set of rules designed to ensure ships are operated safely and responsibly, minimizing the risk of accidents and pollution. It requires shipping companies to create safety management systems that include procedures, safety procedures, and training for crew members. The goal is to prevent accidents like oil spills, sinking, or fires, and to improve overall safety at sea. By following the ISM Code, ships operate more reliably, protect the environment, and ensure the safety of everyone onboard. It promotes a culture of safety that is consistently applied across the maritime industry worldwide.
