SMS Simplification
Our SMS Simplification service helps shipowners and managers make their Safety Management System clearer, more practical, and easier to use onboard. We review existing procedures, remove unnecessary duplication, simplify complex instructions, and improve document structure while maintaining alignment with the ISM Code and relevant industry requirements. A streamlined SMS improves crew understanding, supports consistent implementation, reduces the risk of operational errors, and strengthens overall safety, compliance, and efficiency across the fleet.

We assess your Safety Management System against the ISM Code, SOLAS, MARPOL, OCIMF guidance, TMSA, BPG, DBMS, Flag State requirements, and other applicable industry standards. Our review identifies missing or outdated procedures, inconsistencies, duplication, and gaps between documented requirements and actual onboard practices. A structured gap report is provided with practical recommendations to improve compliance, simplify implementation, strengthen crew understanding, and enhance overall safety and environmental performance.

We provide practical recommendations to strengthen onboard procedures, improve operational control, and enhance overall vessel safety. Our audit services include reviewing statutory and operational documentation, inspecting machinery and safety equipment, assessing crew competence and familiarisation, and evaluating environmental and emergency preparedness. We also review the effectiveness of the company’s management systems against the ISM Code, ISPS Code, MLC requirements, Flag State obligations, and other applicable industry standards. Clear findings and corrective recommendations are provided to support compliance, reduce operational risk, and improve consistent implementation onboard.

We conduct comprehensive pre-RightShip inspections for dry bulk and general cargo vessels. Our review covers vessel condition, cargo spaces, hatch covers, machinery, safety systems, documentation, crew preparedness, and RISQ-related requirements. We identify potential deficiencies before the official inspection and provide practical corrective recommendations to improve readiness and reduce the risk of vetting delays.
