We enable clients to appreciate the value of their management systems.

The best managed companies in the maritime industry use their management systems to plan and control operations and to improve safety, security and efficiency, thereby reducing the cost of fulfilling their obligations to owners, managers, personnel, customers and regulators.

We provide expert consulting, auditing, and training services to the maritime industry, lead by Master Mariner, Captain Aurora. We specialize in management system development, auditing and safety management (ISM Code), security management (ISPS Code) and supply chain security (ISO 28000).

We do this by focusing on how the system that runs the client’s business creates fulfillment of the requirements of interested parties. Instead of writing a manual around the regulation, we work with senior managers and process owners to analyze the existing system. We streamline documentation for effective planning, operation and control. We advise and train any personnel affected by new controls or new processes.

Implementation of the ISM and ISPS Codes helps achieve greater operational efficiency and can lead to a reduction in losses arising from accidents and pollution and security incidents.

Very often, the implementation of the ISM and/or ISPS Codes is viewed as an exercise in documentation and as another burden for a vessel at sea. Yet systematic planning and implementation of activities and operations can lead to improved management control.

80 percent of all shipping accidents are the result of human error.

But a closer look into the causes of that human error will show that some part of the system or interaction within the system caused the human error and hence the accident or incident.

Compliance with the Codes encourages the establishment of processes to ensure continual improvement. It leads to confidence on the part of all those involved in the management of the vessel that its ships comply with requirements.
