Safety

11. ISM CODE…..cont’d
Encourage the continuous improvement of safety management performance in ship-shore management
Ensure full compliance to National, Local, and International rules, regulations, standards, and codes

12. International Ship Safety
Every shipping company must develop, implement, and maintain a safety management system (ISM) that includes the following functional requirements:

13. Safety and environmental policies;
Instructions and procedures to ensure safe operation of ships;
Define levels of authority and line of communication between and among shore and shipboard personnel
Establish procedures for reporting accidents and non-conformance;
Procedures to prepare for and respond to emergencies
Procedures for internal audits and management review audits.

14. IT is the SOFTWARE!
It is not just another inspection that focuses on hardware
It is about Human Element and the relationship with shore side and ship board management activities
It focuses on human element
Requires and demands Commitment. Not something you can throw money and simply resolve.
It simply makes a good business sense.

15. ENFORCEMENT
The ship should be operated by a company which has been issued with a document of compliance (DOC)
Internal Auditor……shore establishment
External Auditor….. Marine dept. “Jabatan Laut”
- Initial Assessment….before issue certificate
- Periodic (verification) Assessment
- Renewal Assessment annually

16. DOCUMENTS
Shore establishment (Internal Auditor) is the Custodian of DOC
A document issued to a company which complies to the requirement of ISM
Validity not more than 5 years. Subject to annual verification

17. DOCUMENTS
Onboard each Vessel…..Must have Safety Management Certificate (SMC). Validity not more than 5 yrs.
A document issued to a ship which signifies that a company and its shipboard management operate in accordance with approved safety management system
Non-conformance/compliance? … SMC withdrawn

18. ISM CODE…..cont’d Non – Conformity
1) Major ---- a failure of a system which has immediate impact to safety and pollution
2) Minor …… a failure of a system which has no immediate impact or bearing on safety and pollution prevention
Under observations

19. International Ship Safety…cont’d
The company should ensure that:
Inspections are held at appropriate intervals;
Any non-conformity is reported, with its possible cause, if known;
Appropriate corrective action is taken; and
Records of these activities are maintained

20. It is the PEOPLE
Designated person who act as a link between those onboard and a company, and has direct access to the highest level of management and ensure availability of resources
The master implements the safety and environmental-protection policy, motivating the crew, issuing appropriate orders and instructions in a clear and simple manner, reviewing the safety management system, and reporting its deficiencies to the shore-based management

21. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TO POLLUTION

22. Environmental Protection & Pollution
Merchant Shipping Ordinance 1952
Environmental Quality Act 1974
Exclusive Economic Zone Act 1984
The effect of oil spills can be far reaching, posing both environmental and economic threats.
Recreational activities, local industry, fisheries, and marine life are among the resources adversely affected by oil spills

23. Economic, Social….Impact
Impact of oil on coastal activities, severe public response and interference to recreational activities
Effect to power plants using seawater cooling
Biological effect of oil. Effect the marine life, flora and fauna caused by physical contamination and smothering
Chemical components can be hazardous ( toxic element)
Explosion hazard
State revenue and fisherman affected

24. CLASSIFICATION SOCIETIES

25. ROLE/RECOGNITION
The role of classification and Classification Societies has been recognized in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and in the 1988 Protocol to the International Convention on Load Lines

26. PURPOSE
The purpose of CS is to provide classification and statutory services and assistance to the maritime industry and regulatory bodies with regards to maritime safety and pollution prevention, based on the accumulation of maritime knowledge and technology

27. INDEPENDENCE
As an independent, self-regulating, externally audited body, a Classification Society has no commercial interests related to ship design, ship building, ship ownership, ship operation, ship management, ship maintenance or repairs, insurance, or chartering

28. MARITIME SAFETY PROMOTERS
Classification is one element within the maritime safety regime
Others with responsibility for or interest in promoting maritime safety include ship owners, shipbuilders, Flag State Administrations, Port State Control authorities, underwriters, shipping financiers, charterers, and of course Seafarers

29. OBJECTIVE of CLASSIFICATION
To verify the structural strength and integrity of essential parts of the ship hulls and its appendages, and the reliability and functions of the propulsion, steering systems, power generation and those other features and auxiliary systems which have been built into the ship in order to maintain essential services onboard.

30. SCOPE OF CLASSIFICATION
A technical review of the design plans and a related documents for a new vessel to verify compliance with applicable rules
Attendance at the construction of then vessel in the shipyard by a Classification Society Surveyor (s) to verify that the vessel is constructed in accordance with the approved design plans and classification rules

31. SCOPE OF CLASSIFICATION
Presence of Classification Society surveyor (s) at the relevant/various production facilities that provide key components such as the steel, engine, etc, conform to the applicable rule requirement
Presence of Classification Society surveyor (s) at the sea trial and other trials

32. SCOPE OF CLASSIFICATION
Upon satisfactory completion of the above, the builder request for the issuance of a class certificate
Once being put into service, the owner must submit a clear specified programme of a periodic class surveys, carried out onboard the vessel, to verify that the ship continues to meet the relevant rule requirements for continuation of class

33. Classification Societies/RolesFunction
International Association of Classification Societies (IACS)- Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, Bureau Veritas, American Bureau of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai.
They set standard, by issuing Rules & Guidance Notes stipulated technical requirements for ships
They perform surveys and inspections to check that ship comply with their own rules and with statutory regulation

34. Statutory/classification Survey
Carry out statutory survey authorized by government
Ship classification/classification survey- examination of the parts of the ship covered by provisions in the rules
Examination of the methods used by the ship owner or shipyard for maintenance and repair
Detailed verifications using sport checks and cross checks
Investigate the machinery, structural and habitability problems, on offshore installations, and inshore-based plants

35. Three elements of ship classification are: Setting standard
Verification of compliance with standard
Documenting compliance with standard survey
Classification Society is licensed by Flag State
Remember No ship could be built without the approval of Classification Society

36. Statutory/classification Survey
Attend to ship in trouble, to investigate causes of machinery failures and recommend ways to remedy them
Marking of loadline. Computer program have been developed to calculate loadline, tonnages, stability issues and problems associated with drilling rigs and floating platforms which cannot be solved by normal ship-type calculation
Issuance of Safety Certificate

37. Statutory Survey To Ensure Vessel build to standard
Maintained to standard
Repaired to standard

38. Selection of Statutory Marine Surveys
International Convention on Load Lines 1966
International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)
Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate
Convention on International Regulations for Preventing Collusion at Sea 1972
International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships
nternational Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships

39. Class Maintenance Programs and Survey
IMO Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemical/Liquefied Gas in Bulk
Minimum Crew Accommodation Standard required by ILO
Nowadays most cost-conscious shipowners operate advance planning systems and maintenance procedures in order to meet increasing demand for cost-effective operation
To avoid unnecessary opening up of mechinary and duplication of work, classification societies have introduce an alternative based on owner’s planned maintenance programme onboard

40. Class Maintenance Programs and Survey
How? It involves the following sequence of survey program
Classification society approves the owner’s maintenance programme;
Initial survey onboard by classification society surveyor;
Continuous machinery survey to be in operation;
Chief Engineer to be approved by classification society
Annual survey inspection by Chief Engineer accepted as class survey

41. Harmonization of Survey
Survey harmonized and synchronized with tolerance time band
Annual survey with a time band of 3 months before and after the due date;
2, and 2.5 year surveys to be undertaken within 6 months before and after due date;
Special periodic survey every 4 years with a permitted 1-year extension
Safety Certification issued by Classification Societies

42. CLASSIFICATION SURVEYS
A classification survey is a visual examination that normally consists of:
Overall examination of the items identified in the Rules for survey
Detail checks of selected parts on a sampling basis
Witnessing tests, measurements, and trials where applicable

43. CLASSIFICATION SURVEYS
Each classed vessel is subject to a specified programme of periodic surveys after delivery. These are based on a five-year cycle and consist of annual survey, an intermediate survey, and a class renewal/special survey (held every 5 years)

44. CLASSIFICATION SURVEYS
Classification Societies aim to achieve this objective through the development and application of their own rules and, by verifying compliance with international and or national statutory regulations on behalf of flag administrations
The vast majority of commercial ships are built to and surveyed for compliance with the standards laid down by Classification Societies

45. CLASSIFICATION SURVEYS
A vessel that has been designed and built to the appropriate Rules of a Society may apply for a certificate of classification from that society

46. CLASSIFICATION SURVEYS
ANNUAL SURVEY
The purpose of an annual survey is to confirm that the general condition of the hull is maintained at a satisfactory level.
Generally as the ship ages, ballast tanks are required to be subjected to more extensive overall and close-up surveys at Annual Surveys

47. CLASSIFICATION SURVEYS
INTERMEDIATE SURVEY
The intermediate survey may be held at or between the second or third Annual Survey in each five (5) year Special Survey cycle. Those items which are additional to the requirement of the Annual Surveys, may be surveyed either at or between the 2nd and 3rd Annual Survey

48. CLASSIFICATION SURVEYS
SPECIAL SURVEY
The Special Survey are carried out at five-year intervals for the purpose of establishing the condition of the structure to confirm that the structural integrity is satisfactory in accordance with the Classification Requirements
Remained fit for its intended purpose for another five-year period, subject to proper maintenance and operation of the ship and to periodical surveys carried out at the due dates.
