ISM Code Awareness online course. The aim of this course is to provide knowledge and understanding of the requirements, principles, and contents of the ISM Code in order to improve the safety and environmental performance of ships.
The International Safety Management (ISM) Code, established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), is a meticulous and all-encompassing compilation of guidelines designed to ensure the secure operation of ships and prevent environmental pollution.
This code serves as a robust framework that outlines how to effectively manage the safety and environmental performance of ships, making it an imperative requirement for all vessels partaking in international voyages. By adhering to the ISM Code, ship operators are equipped with the necessary tools and protocols to mitigate risks, protect human lives at sea, preserve marine ecosystems, and maintain a sustainable maritime industry.
The code embodies a collective effort from global stakeholders to harmonize practices and promote a culture of safety and environmental stewardship in the shipping industry worldwide. It stands as a testament to our commitment to fostering responsible ship management practices that prioritize the well-being of both people and the planet.
