ISM internal audits provide independent, objective assurance that your company’s safety management operations are not only compliant but also effective. A well-executed audit helps shipping companies:

• Verify adherence to the established Safety Management System (SMS)
  Identify potential risks or non-compliance before they result in costly incidents
• Provide independent, objective assurance that your operations are running efficiently and effectively
• Ensure continual improvement of safety processes
• Demonstrate compliance to external auditors and Port State Control authorities

Without effective ISM internal audits, the integrity of the SMS can deteriorate, leading to non-compliance, safety hazards, and increased risk of accidents and detentions.

At Marinetegrity, we understand that managing internal audits can be complex, especially when balancing daily operations with compliance requirements. As ABS certified ISM auditors, we provide specialized ISM internal audit and maritime safety audits services tailored to your company’s needs.

Our audits deliver independent and objective assurance, giving you the confidence that your operations are compliant and effective.

Our expertise is aligned with the IMO Guidelines for the Operational Implementation of the ISM Code by Companies, which states in Section 8 (Qualifications, Training, and Experience) that all personnel involved in the SMS must have the necessary qualifications, training, and experience.
