ISM Certification

Certification of a company and its vessels that meet the requirements of the 'International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention" (ISM Code).

  1. Document of Compliance (DOC) is issued upon verification of the ISM requirements within a company.
  2. Safety Management Certificate (SMC) is issued to the vessel when these same requirements are verified onboard the company's vessels.
Note: a unique Company IMO identification number is required to be posted on the DOCs and SMCs. For more info on obtaining this number for your organization please visit LR Fairplay.

HSQE Certification

The ABS Guide for Marine Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental Management has been developed as a management system model for safe operation. Topics addressed include quality, pollution prevention, and preservation of the environment.

The requirements of this Guide have been derived from sound management system principles reflected in the requirements of the ISM Code, Occupational Health Management Systems - OHSAS 18001:1999, Quality Management Systems - ISO9000: 2000 and Environmental Management Systems - ISO 14001:1996.

Companies that meet the requirements of the Guide are issued a certificate and additional notations are listed in the ABS Record. Notations are:

S
for companies that meet the requirements within the Guide for Safety and include some additional prescriptive requirements that enhance the management system in achieving goals and objectives.
SH
for companies that meet the requirements of "S" and the additional requirements of a Occupational Health Management System as embodied in OHSAS 18001:1999.
SQ
