The ISM code is a mandatory management system for all commercial vessels over 500 GT. It consists of a documented set of procedures that govern onboard safety and pollution prevention. Adherence to the code is verified by audits from flag state surveyors and compliant yachts are issued with a Safety Management Certificate. By employing Eusamarine to administer ISM aboard his yacht, an owner has the twin benefits of knowing that his vessel is being run to international safety standards and that his responsibility for ensuring the yacht’s seaworthiness is shared with CNI.

Like the ISM code, ISPS applies to all commercial vessels over 500 GT. The code was developed in response to the altered global security situation following the 9/11 attacks in the US. In order to comply with the code each vessel must have an approved security plan containing measures that can be implemented for various security levels set by governments. Eusamarine has extensive experience in conducting security assessments aboard yachts and producing approved shipboard security plans. Our approach is pragmatic and achieves compliance with a minimum of expense and disruption to a yacht’s operation.
