EU 336/2006, requires the application of the ISM Code to vessels flying the flags of member states Article 3.1 (b), of the Regulation, now requires that the ISM code be implemented on vessels operating domestically within the Community, by March 2008. It repeals the previous regulation EC 3051/95, which applied to companies trading vessels over 500 gross tonnage on international services. “Domestic shipping" means any transport service by ship in sea areas from a port facility of a Member State to the same port facility or another port facility within that Member State. The purpose International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention (ISM) Code, is to establish a management system within shipping companies to ensure the safe operation of their vessels, and the prevention of pollution by ships. The Code is produced by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and included in chapter IX of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). Implementation of the code is obligatory for all member states, the code was adopted in 1993, and became mandatory on all international shipping by 2002. Regulation 336 / 2006 extends application of the ISM Code, to cover Community ships operating either internationally or domestically, regardless of their flag. Compliance with Regulation requires owners of domestically trading vessels to implement a Domestic Safety Management system (DSM). The DSM is based on the ISM Code, (Parts A & B.) Implementation of the DSM requires owners to produce an approved Safety Management System (SMS) for both their vessel and shore based operations including Company Offices.
1.0 General These guidance notes, in conjunction with associated template are intended to assist owners of domestic trading vessels produce a Safety Management System (SMS) that:
• Is specific to their own vessel
• Allow owners produce, modify, and retain control of the SMS.
• Reflects the nature and area of their operation
• Accounts for seasonal aspects of their operations
• Acts as a tool to assist in the safe and efficient operation of their vessel
• Assists in compliance with Art 3.1 (b) of EC Regulation 336/2006.
The template provides a bare structure or framework for the SMS, Owners / Operators must populate the various sections of the template with policies and procedures that are specific to their own operation and vessels. Many owners already have existing policies and procedures in place, to operate their vessels, these should where possible be used and included in the template for the SMS. To assist owners, both the template and guidance will be made available in electronic format. The guidance section is laid out in a manner identical to the template, but contains a series of relevant guidance notes, (red Italics) and worked examples of checklists and documents, to assist owners populate the SMS Template. Examples of procedures are included within the notes, not all of which will apply to individual vessels, given the differences in type, size, location, and trade. Owners must decide on which procedures are relevant to their operation. These examples may be used to populate the template, and should be modified to reflect an individual company’s specific operation, whereby items not relevant to a vessel may be deleted, or additional items incorporated as required. There is no obligation on owners / operators to utilise any of the above, and they remain free at all times to produce their own SMS for approval by the MSO.

In this section Operators must:
• Create procedures to identify, describe, and respond to potential
shipboard emergencies
• Establish a programme of emergency drills and exercises
• Provide measures to ensure the Companies organisation can respond
to hazards, accidents and emergencies involving its vessels.
The first point involves identifying what shipboard emergencies may affect the
vessel, and create responses to them. A number of the major risks are listed
on the following page, but in terms of a specific vessel, it must be stressed it is
not exhaustive.
Response to these risks may take the format of on board checklists containing
easily and rapidly understood instructions in how to deal with a particular
emergency. A number of examples are contained in the following sheets.
Such Checklists should be laminated and placed on board the vessel for use in
emergencies by the crew. Consideration should be given to using different
coloured sheets of paper e.g. Red for Fire, Blue for flooding etc.
Item 2 above requires the establishing of a Drill roster, an example of which is
shown in the following pages.
Item 3 should detail the chain of command and contacts between vessel and
Shore management to allow an emergency be controlled and managed.

This section requires operators in relation to non conformities, Accidents, and hazardous occurrences, to have procedures in place to :
• Report
• Investigate
• Undertake corrective action to avoid re occurrences. Reporting may be undertaken on dedicated form, but in any case must be logged in the vessels official logbook. The MSO must be notified directly in the event of accidents or hazardous occurrences, and may decide to investigate such matters on the details of an individual case. The company should have procedures and resources to investigate the events internally, and confirm that any recommendations are implemented.

PPrroocceedduurreess Within their SMS, operators must establish procedures, to ensure their vessel is maintained to nominated standards, based on:
• National Legislation
• Manufacturers Instructions and Guidance
• Best Industry Practice
• Additional requirements of an individual company. Complying with the above requirements operators will have to:
• Ensure maintenance inspections are undertaken at appropriate intervals
• Report any non conformity (defects)
• Ensure corrective action is taken
• Maintain records of the above activities The company must also for each of its vessels identify those items (Critical Items of Equipment) which if in the event of their sudden operational failure, may place the vessel in a hazardous situation, typical examples would be but not limited to:
• Loss of steering
• Failure of main propulsion unit
• Bilge level warning, and pumping systems failure
• Fuel filtration systems
• Navigational Equipment failure The SMS system must identify these critical systems, and include measures for proving and promoting the reliability of these systems, such measures may include the provision of stand by units, regular testing of systems and standby units, and testing of systems not normally in use, e.g. emergency steering. Any such testing must be incorporated into the vessels operational maintenance routine. Procedures may take the format of checklists based on manufacturers maintenance instructions, best practice, company prior experience of operation of their vessels, and those mandatory by law. Operators must keep verifiable records of work due, work completed, defects noted, and corrective action undertaken.

EEvvaalluuaattiioonnss To maintain the effectiveness of the SMS, Operators must have procedures in place to evaluate if:
• The safety and pollution prevention activities comply with the Safety Management System (Internal Audit)
• Evaluate the efficiency of the SMS. (Review of SMS) • Put in place documented procedures to undertake Audits and Reviews,
including documenting Audit / Review, noting deficiencies, addressing corrective action and allocating responsibility for corrective action to staff / management.
The first point is a full Audit of the SMS, and should ideally be conducted by a trained person independent of the areas being audited, (unless impractical due to the size or nature of the Company. Another option is to have the Audit conducted by an external auditor. The second point may take the form of a review of the full SMS, or relevant portions, an example being the Masters Review, (see check list Masters Review – Ch. 5) It is important the Company has procedures documenting how the audit / review is conducted, reported on, and acted on. The results of such evaluations must be made available to all staff responsible for a particular area of operation. Companies should as part of their procedure, state how often they will undertake such audits / reviews, e.g. six monthly, annually etc Responsibility must be allocated to Management staff, to ensure any non conformities /deficiencies are noted, addressed within a definite appropriate period of time, and a follow up to ensure closure of outstanding defects is in place
