Introduction
2.1 Overview
The Code establishes safety‑management objectives and requires a Safety Management System (SMS) to be established by “the Company”, defined as the owner or any other organisation or person—such as the manager—who has assumed responsibility for operating the ship and, upon doing so, has agreed to take on all duties and responsibilities imposed by the Code.
The Company shall establish and implement a policy to achieve these objectives, including providing the necessary resources and shore‑based support.
Every Company must designate a person or persons ashore, with direct access to the highest level of management, to provide a link between the Company and those on board. This role is the Designated Person Ashore (DPA).
The procedures required by the Code shall be documented and compiled in a Safety Management Manual (SMM). A copy shall be maintained on board.
The SMS ensures compliance with applicable international rules and regulations for the safe management of ships and pollution prevention, including the ISM Code, and takes account of codes of practice, guidelines, and standards recommended by Classification Societies and maritime organisations.
