    History For Development Of ISM Code.

    On the evenning of March 6, 1987, the cross-channel R0-Ro ferry Herald


    Of Enterprise carrying 450 passengers, 80 crew, more than 80 vehicles,
    and close to 50 freight wehicles, left the Belgian port of Zebrugge for the
    port of Dover.
    Soon after the Herald of Enterprise passed the Zebrugge breakwater,
    water flooded the ferry lower car deck and destabilize the ship, causing it
    to sink in a matter of minutes, 193 lives were lost.
    The inquiry report summed up the shore managements cavalier attitude
    towards safety.
    The general frustration in the shipping industry following the capsizing of
    the Herald of Enterprise is a typical of the kind of accident that
    precipitated in a paradigm shift in maritime safety administration and the
    development of ISM Code.
    SOLAS adopted the ISM Code in 1994, and incorporated into the
    chapterIX. By 1998 most of the commercial shipping community was
    required to be in compliance with the ISM Code. By 2002 almost all the
    international shipping community was required to comply with ISM Code.
    The ISM Code provide an International Standard for the safe management
    and operation of ships and for pollution prevention.
    The Master is the authority onboard and he
    should be given the overriding authority and
    discretion to take such action in the best
    interests of the ship on matters relating to
    SAFETY and POLLUTION PREVENTION
    The Company must employ the right people
    onboard and in the office and make sure that all of
    them;

    Know what their duties are


    Receive instructions on how to carry out their
    duties
    Get trained when and if necessary
    The Master is properly qualified for command
    The Master is fully conversant with the SMS
    The Master is given the necessary management
    support
    Ship personnel can communicate in a language
    understood by all
    Ship personnel can read and understand the
    relevant SMS information
    Objectives of the company Safety
    Management System should be;

    safe practices in ship operation;


    safeguards against all identified risks;
    continuous improvement of safety
    management skills of all personnel in the
    company.
    It means every Company should develop,
    implement and maintain a Safety
    Management System (SMS) which include
    the following functional requirements.
    Safety Management System
    (SMS)

    A Safety Management System means a


    structured and documented system enabling
    Company personnel to implement effectively
    the Companys Safety and Environmental
    Protection Policy and to provide for safe
    practices in ship operations.

    It may be in the form of a manual, a set of


    procedures, fleet instructions, circular letters
    or asset of reference documents.
    The Company must put in writing its POLICY on
    the Safety and the Protection of the Marine
    Environment and make sure that everyone knows
    about it and follows it.

    The Company must have sufficient & suitable


    people (in the office and on vessels) with clearly
    defined roles & responsibilities (who are
    responsible for what).
    The Company must appoint a person in the office
    responsible for monitoring and following all
    SAFETY matters of the vessels.

    The Master is responsible to make the System


    work onboard.

    He should motivate his crew in following the


    system and give them instructions where
    necessary.
    Shipboard Operation Plans

    Plan what you do - Do what you plan


    You need to plan your work on the ship and follow your plan
    when working.

    NOBODY PLANS TO FAIL BUT MANY FAILED TO PLAN.

    You should be prepared for the unexpected (emergency).


    It can happen any time and any where

    The Company should develop plans for responding to


    emergency situations onboard its vessels and practice
    them
    No person or system is perfect

    The good thing about this system is that it gives you a way
    to correct it and improve
    When you find something wrong including accidents and
    hazardous situations and near misses, you should report it
    When the report is received, it will be analysed and where
    necessary the whole system can be improved.
