The company and the ship shall comply with the requirements of the ISM Code. For the purpose of this regulation, the requirements of the Code shall be treated as mandatory. The company should establish procedures, plans and instructions, including checklists as appropriate, for key shipboard operations concerning the safety of the personnel, ship, and protection of the environment. The various tasks should be assigned defined and assigned by qualified personnel. MI observed a fire detector isolated on the fire detection system bridge panel. The following was identified through additonal discussions with the crew members: the company has not not established written procedures or checklists using the onboard safety management system for when fire detectors are isolated from the detection system and the crew or contractors are performing maintenance onboard. The crew will verbally pass any fire detection isolation to the bridge watchstander and use an unofficial green logbook, however, there is no written procedure for this. The onboard unofficial verbal procedures for isolating the fire detection system fail to include: notification to the master when isolating single or multiple detectors from the fire detection panel, notifying the master whent the isolation is complete, establishing a fire watch/additional fire fighting precautions for the space/section when the system is isolated.
