ISM CODE
Purpose: To provide an International Standard for the safe management and operation of ships and for
Prevention of Pollution. Main objectives are to ensure safety at sea, prevention of human injury or loss of
life, and avoidance of damage to the environment.

Basic Principles: Every company is expected “to designate a person or persons ashore having direct access
to the highest level of management”. The procedures required by the Code should be documented and
compiled in a Safety Management Manual, a copy of which should be kept on board.

Goals: ISM Code works with the motive of satisfying three important goals:
1. Safety of people on board.
2. Safety of ship and cargo.
3. Safety of the marine environment.

Elements: ISM Code has 16 elements that is

1. General; Definition, Objectives, Application, Functional requirements o SMS.
2. Safety and Environmental Protection Policy

Objectives: The objectives of the ISM Code are to:

• Ensure safety at sea;
• Prevent human injury or loss of life; and
• Avoid damage to the environment with focus on the marine environment and on
property The ISM Code establishes the following safety management objectives of the
company:
 • Provide safe practices in ship operation and working environment;
• Establish safeguards against all identified risks; and
• Continuously improve safety management skills of personnel ashore and onboard ships.
These skills include the preparation for emergencies related to safety and environmental
protection.

SOLAS
Purpose: The main objective of the SOLAS Convention is to specify minimum standards for
the construction, equipment and operation of ships, compatible with their safety.

STCW
Purpose: STCW Certification was created to promote safety of life and property at sea and to protect the
marine environment. It establishes internationally accepted standards of training and certification of
seafarers, ensuring that crew are qualified and fit for duties at sea.

 PSC INSPECTION
Port State Control (PSC) is the inspection of foreign ships present in a nation's port for the purpose of verifying that
the condition of the ships and their equipment comply with the provisions of international conventions and codes
and that the ships are manned and operated in compliance with those provisions.
This pressure resulted in a more comprehensive memorandum which covered:
• safety of life at sea
• prevention of pollution by ships, and
• living and working conditions on board ships

RADAR
Purpose: Radar is a detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. It
can be used to detect other ships, weather formations, and terrain.
• What is Marine Radar? A mandatory aid to navigation, the radar is used in identifying, tracking (with integrated
ARPA) and positioning of vessels (including one's own vessel) among other things in order to adhere to the
COLREGs so as to safely navigate a ship from one point to another.
• The Closest Point of Approach (CPA) is an estimated point in which the distance between the own ship and
another object target will reach the minimum value.
• The concept of CPA is presented in the Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA) initially to estimate the collision
risk directly.
• ARPA provides all the necessary information for the radar users and helps in saving a lot of critical time from
observing a target to finding the data using radar plotting and calculations. Collision avoidance and detection
data is thus readily available to the radar users in no time, just by a click on the target.
• VRM provides an accurate measurement of range to targets.
• EBL An electronic means of measuring the radar bearing of a target with a rotating radial line on the radar
screen. You can adjust the position of the line until it overlaps the target and read the bearing from numbers on
the radar screen.

NAVTEX
• is a device used on-board the vessels to provide short range Maritime Safety Information in coastal waters
automatically.
• is an information system for transmitting MSI (Maritime Safety Information, that are navigational and
meteorological warnings, meteorological forecasts, and other urgent safety-related messages) and
automatic reception of MSI by means of narrow-band direct-printing (NBDP) telegraphy.

WEATHER FAX
A device used to receive weather reports. Each ship is provided with a weatherfax receiver with a printing facility
which enables weather patterns showing isobars and barometric pressures to be printed at regular intervals.

ISPS
The main objectives of the ISPS Code are: To detect security threats and implement security measures. To establish
roles and responsibilities concerning maritime security for governments, local administrations, ship and port
industries at the national and international level.
Security Level 1 : NORMAL; the level at which ships and port facilities normally operate;
Security Level 2 : HEIGHTENED; the level applying for as long as there is a heightened risk of a
security incident; and
Security Level 3 : EXCEPTIONAL, the level applying for the period of time when there is the
probable or imminent risk of a security incident.

IALA (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LIGHTHOUSE AUTHORITIES)

The aim of IALA is to foster the safe, economic and efficient movement of vessels, through improvement and
harmonisation of aids to navigation worldwide and other appropriate means, for the benefit of the maritime
community and the protection of the environment.
IALA is primarily known for the IALA Maritime Buoyage Systems or sea mark systems that are used in the pilotage of
vessels at sea: Lateral marks indicate the edges of a channel. Cardinal marks indicate the direction of safe water at a
dangerous spot. Safe water marks indicate the deep water and open end of a channel.
 LATERAL MARK
REGION A
PORT STARBOARD

REGION B
PORT STARBOARD

Purpose: Lateral marks indicate the edges of a channel

CARDINAL MARK

Cardinal marks indicate the direction of safe water at a dangerous spot

SAFE WATER MARK

Safe water marks indicate the deep water and open end of a channel and show that there is navigable water all
round the mark
 ISOLATED DANGER MARK

Isolated danger buoys are placed directly above a hazard such as a submerged rock or a wreck, but has navigable
water all around it

NEW DANGER MARK

Usually marking for wreck

SPECIAL MARK

Mark to indicate a special area or feature whose nature may be apparent from reference to a chart or other nautical
publication
Examples: Ocean Data Acquisition Systems (ODAS), TSS Mark, Spoil Ground, Military Exercise Zone, Cable or Pipeline,
Recreation Zone, Boundaries of Anchorage Area.
