-UK P&I Club with Lloyd’s Register pocket checklists:
ISM and ISPS Pocket Checklist :Port State Control detentions due to ISM failures are becoming more common as the authorities are grouping deficiencies together to justify detaining the ship. The objectives of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code are to ensure safety at sea, prevention of human injury or loss of life, and avoidance of damage to the environment and property. The objectives of the ISPS Code are to ensure security of ships and port facilities. The company is responsible for implementing an effective safety and security management system to ensure these objectives are met. By doing this, the risk to the fleet can be minimised and avoid costly fines and Port State Control detentions. Effective implementation of ISM and ISPS will protect the fleet’s reputation and help to get most out of the company’s resources.In conjunction with an industry partner, the UK P&I Club has analysed data including deficiencies found by Port State Control Officers relating to ISM & ISPS. The result is this convenient and re-usable Checklist, highlighting the most common deficiencies.
Marine Pollution Prevention Pocket Checklist :MARPOL infringements can result in both company management and seafarers being liable to criminal prosecution and imprisonment for deliberate violation of MARPOL requirements or falsification of records. In addition, there are risks of large fines amounting to millions of dollars. In conjunction with an industry partner, the UK P&I Club has analysed data including deficiencies found by Port State Control Officers relating to marine pollution prevention. The result is this convenient and re-usable Checklist, highlighting the most common deficiencies listed by the MARPOL Annexes.
Marine Fire Safety Pocket Checklist: During the period 2006-2008, 1216 people were reported killed or missing as a result of 465 incidents of fire and explosions on board merchant seagoing ships of 100 gt and above. 988 of these deaths were from a single incident. It is essential that crew are appropriately trained to inspect, maintain and operate equipment and that the equipment is ready for use at all times. Being prepared can mean the difference between lives lost or lives saved. In conjunction with an industry partner, the UK P&I Club has analysed data relating to fire safety, including deficiencies found by Port State Control officers. The result is this re-usable checklist, which highlights the most common deficiencies and lists them by distinct areas of the ship. This means that each crew member can take responsibility for his or her own area.
