SMM Overview
The SMM, or Safety Management Manual (this document) sets out the Company's Safety Management System in line with the ISM Code. Its purpose is to ensure the safe operation of the yacht and the protection of the environment by defining policies, responsibilities, procedures, and reporting processes. It provides clear guidance for shore‑based management and onboard personnel, supports training and emergency preparedness, and establishes mechanisms for compliance, incident management, and continual improvement.
Clear levels of authority and defined lines of communication between shore‑based management and onboard personnel enable the Company to:
- Report and manage near‑misses, accidents, non‑conformities, and occupational diseases.
- Prepare for and respond to emergencies.
- Ensure effective crew management through appropriate recruitment, support, and development.
- Conduct internal audits and management reviews to drive continual improvement.
The diagram illustrates the organisational structure and communication flow within the Safety Management System (SMS). It shows the hierarchical relationships between shore‑based management and yacht personnel, highlighting clear reporting lines and defined responsibilities. These channels support safety‑related communications, incident reporting, and emergency response. This structure enables effective implementation of safety procedures, competent crew management, and continual improvement through regular audits and reviews.
