ISM Enquiry

ISM (International Safety Management) enquiry for maritime refers to the process of verifying compliance with the International Safety Management Code, a critical framework established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to ensure the safe operation of ships and the prevention of marine pollution. This enquiry involves assessing a ship’s Safety Management System (SMS), which outlines procedures for safe practices, risk management, emergency preparedness, and environmental protection. ISM enquiries often include audits, inspections, and documentation reviews to confirm that both the vessel and the company operate in adherence to the code's standards, promoting a culture of safety and accountability within the maritime industry.
