TACOMA, WA by Bridget A. Murphy, associate editor In an industry consumed by technical standards and engi-neered solutions, the adoption of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code — a code that relies on management principles focused on human fac- tors — presents an unique, and perhaps foreboding challenge. As stated by Timothy Leitzell, presi- dent of ABS Marine Services, Inc., "Certification does not imply tech- nical adequacy of the vessel or its procedures ... This is not a techni- cally operating code." The International Maritime Or- ganization's (IMO's) ISM Code, which is part of the Safety of Life At Sea (SOLAS) Convention, puts forth requirements that some fear hold the industry up to a much higher standard than that which is reasonably attainable by the July 1998 compliance date, if at all. Embodying principles similar to U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral James Card's Prevention Through People (PTP) pilot, the Code requires maritime outfits to create and implement safety management plans and procedures capable of withstanding inspections and audits, to be enforced by Port State Control vehicles. Specifically, ISM mandates that shipowning and operating compa- nies have their own safety manuals on the books. Companies are assisted by classi- fication societies, which are charged with approving individual safety plans, performing audits to ensure that written plans are put into practice by the operator both at sea and on land, and issuing cer- tifications in the form of two docu- ments — a Document of Compliance (DOC) and a Safety Management Certificate (SMC). On May 8, the New York Shipping Cooperative Committee put togeth- er a roster of speakers who addressed the ramifications of ISM from the perspective of classifica- tion societies, the legal profession and protection and indemnity (P&I) clubs. By session's end it was generally agreed that having a proper safety system in place is the best defense against liability claims and penalty assignments under the Code. Reservists reach for a water hose to battle flames during firefighting training at the Fleet Training Center at the Norfolk, Va., naval base. Efforts among maritime interests to achieve SOLAS compliance have popularized such drills. 1240 Liberty Avenue / Hillside, New Jersey USA 07205 Phone (908) 686-1199 Fax: (908) 810-8768 E-Mail: demsllc @ village.ios.com Circle 245 on Reader Service Card Circle 247 on Reader Service Card The Single Source Organization Focused On The Future For OPA90 Compliance DEMS Is Available For Citation And Response Donjon Environmental Marine Services, LLC 150 Years of Experience
