Study Notes
Objectives of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code
- Enhance maritime safety and prevent pollution from ships.
- Establish a safety management system that promotes environmental protection.
- Ensure that all vessels operate in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Achieving ISM Code Objectives
- Implementation of a Safety Management System (SMS) on board each ship.
- Regular audits and evaluations to monitor compliance and effectiveness of the SMS.
- Continuous training and education of crew members in safety practices and pollution prevention.
Minimum Vessel Size for ISM Compliance
- The ISM Code applies to all passenger ships and cargo ships of 500 gross tonnage or more.
Voyage Planning: Fuel Considerations
- Assess fuel type and quality to ensure compatibility with engine requirements.
- Calculate fuel consumption based on the planned route and vessel performance.
- Account for fuel availability in ports along the route, including contingency planning for delays.
Voyage Planning: Lubricating Oil Considerations
- Determine the correct type and grade of lubricating oil for engines and machinery.
- Monitor consumption rates to ensure sufficient supply during the voyage.
- Plan for proper disposal of used lubricating oil in compliance with MARPOL regulations.
Voyage Planning: Fresh Water Considerations
- Calculate fresh water needs for crew, sanitation, and machinery cooling.
- Evaluate options for fresh water sourcing at ports along the route.
- Consider the impact of fresh water usage on ballast conditions and vessel stability.
MARPOL Annex V: Garbage Management Techniques
