15 - Safety Management Systems (ISM) › N/A - No Subsystem › Maintenance of the ship and equipment
Issued 1 February 2022
Resolved
The company should establish procedures to ensure the ship is maintained in accordance with the provisions of the relevant rules and regulations and with any additional requirements which may be established by the company. The vessel management system states that defects in critical equipment systems must always be reported in accordance with procedures and be handled with priority among pending items for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. The vessel's engineering crew was unable to provide any documentation as required in the SMS for any defective items. Deficiencies #2-#7 provide evidence of a serious lack of effectiveness of the planned maintenance system and required routing inspections/rounds by ship's crew. Due to the objective evidence in the above deficiencies, the vessel is not in substantial compliance with relevant conventions. The Captain of the Port questions the overall implementation of the vessel's SMS under the ISM Code. An external audit conducted by the Flag or RO is required to determine whether the ship is operating in accordance to the ISM Code. Provide a copy of the completed audit report to the USCG prior to departure from port.
