This chapter will acquaint you with scent of the is M code the rules of
classification societies regarding PSM
let's start with definitions international safety
management code IOM means the international management code for the
safe operation of ships and for pollution prevention as adopted by the
assembly a company means the owner of the ship or
any other organization or person such as the manager of the bareboat charter who
has assumed the responsibility for the operation of the ship from the ship
owner and who on assuming such a responsibility has agreed to take over
all the duties and responsibilities imposed by the code
administration means the government of the state whose flag the ship is
registered under
the objectives of international safety management code is M R to ensure safety
at sea prevention of human injury or loss of life the avoidance of damage to
the environment and in particular to the marine environment and to property
safety management of the company should inter alia provide for safe practice in
ship operation and safe working environment established safeguards
against all identified risks continuously improve safety management
skills of personnel ashore and aboard ships including preparing for
emergencies related both to safety and environmental protection
the safety management system should ensure compliance with mandatory rules
and regulations that applicable codes guidelines and standards recommended by
the organization administration's classification societies and maritime
industry organizations are taken into account
NATO's responsibility and authority the company should clearly define and
document the Masters responsibilities with regard to implementing the safety
and environmental protection policy of the company this means that the master
has the overall responsibility for implementation of the SMS system
including the PMS as long as the pms is considered a part of the company's SMS
motivating the crew in the observation of that policy as long as the pms is
considered a part of the SMS system the master has the overall responsibility
for motivating the crew regarding the use and improvement of the pms refer
also to classification note number 10.1 regarding implementation survey
issuing appropriate orders and instructions in a clear and simple
manner all types of orders and instructions that may be predefined such
as the routine checklists safety precautions work permits etc could be
included in the pms system verified that specified requirements are
observed reviewed the SMS PMS and report its deficiencies to the shore based
management implement relevant routines and checklists and report deficiencies
in the PMS
resources and personnel the company should ensure that each ship is manned
with qualified certified and medically fit seafarers in accordance with
national and international requirements STCW 78 stroke 95 the Rosslyn operation
and maintenance system includes a separate module for resource management
covering certificates and general skills for each member of the crew
the company should establish procedures to ensure that new personnel and
personnel that are transferred to new assignments related to safety and
protection of the environment are given proper familiarization in their duties
this computer-based training module is considered an important part of such
training familiarization
the company should ensure that all personnel involved in the company's SMS
have an adequate understanding of relevant rules regulations codes and
guidelines this computer-based training module is considered an important part
of such training familiarization
development of plans for shipboard operations the company should establish
procedures for the preparation of plans and instructions for key shipboard
operations concerning the safety of the ship and the prevention of pollution the
various tasks involved should be defined and assigned to qualified personnel by
establishing relevant procedures checklists with adequate coding etc in
the pms the codes requirements may be met
maintenance of the and equipment the company should
establish procedures to ensure that the ship is maintained in conformity to the
provisions in relevant rules and regulations and with any additional
requirements which may be established by the company in meeting these
requirements the company should ensure that inspections are held at appropriate
intervals
any nonconformity is reported including possible cause if known appropriate
corrective action is taken records of these activities are maintained the
company should establish procedures in its SMS safety management system to
identify equipment and technical systems in which a sudden operation failure may
result in a dangerous situation the SMS should provide for specific measures
aimed at promoting the reliability of such equipment or systems these measures
should include the regular testing of standby arrangements and equipment or
technical systems that are not in continuous use the aforementioned
inspections should be integrated into the ship's operational maintenance
routine safety management system SMS based upon the requirements of the IFM
code the following functional requirements may be applied to all ships
refer to is M code chapter one point for every company should develop implement
and maintain a safety management system SMS which includes the following
functional requirements a safety and environmental protection policy
instructions and procedures to ensure the safe operation of ships and
protection of the environment in compliance with relevant international
and flag state legislations defined levels of authority and lines of
communication between an amongst shore and shipboard personnel
procedures for reporting accidents and non-conformities in accordance to the
provision of the code procedures for preparation for and response to
emergency situations procedures for internal audits and management reviews
planned maintenance system TMS the planned maintenance system PMS is an
integrated part of the safety management system SMS in compliance with the
international safety management is M code the following rules for
classification of ships and classification notes are applicable for
the pms system periodical survey requirements DNV rules part 7 chapter 2
January 1999 alternative survey arrangements for machinery and
automation systems ships and mobile offshore units classification note
number 10.1 January 1999
reference classification notes number 10.1 chapter 4 point for a PMS should be
considered as a part of the management system and is considered to at least
satisfy the minimum requirements laid down in the international standard of
management code is M concerning class related machinery items and the
automation equipment covered by the rules the basis for intervals and extent
of maintenance are normally as recommended by the manufacturer
documented operators experience and condition monitoring were fitted for all
items or systems covered by the rules PMS the maintenance category and job
description for main overhaul of the respective items should at least cover
or fulfill the rules for classification of ships point 7 chapter 2 table a1
machinery surveys requirements for class survey with respect to opening up
testing etc it's a condition the job description for main overhaul and class
survey should be harmonized and given on the same job order
definition of main overhaul a representative interval inspection and
for example measure tolerances clearances followed by replacement or
overhaul if a defect is detected in cases where the overhaul consists of
more sub actions at different intervals main overhaul is when the total cycle is
completed when the manufacturers recommendation for main overhaul
intervals based on running hours or condition monitoring normally exceeds
five years the item can still be credited at the completion of the CMS
cycle provided that satisfactory maintenance history is documented
yo stroke EEOC class notation when the EO stroke EEOC class is to be included
in the pms test and intervals should not exceed the intervals as specified in the
EO stroke gos maintenance manual and in no case exceed 12 months the
instructions for testing should cover the extent as specified in the EO stroke
EEOC maintenance manual and the rules for classification of ships part 7
chapter 2 for annual and complete renewal survey
responsibility for documentation on all maintenance work carried out on items
systems covered by the rules is to be signed by the chief engineer with
computer systems the chief engineer is responsible for the updating of the
system a PMS is to include documentation of inventory content that is items of
systems included in the maintenance program all class items to be covered
maintenance time intervals maintenance instructions maintenance documentation
and history that is records of maintenance jobs carried out and the
result routines for handling postponed jobs that is that the system is able to
keep the control of new due date reference documentation that is
performance results and measurements taken at certain intervals for Trend
investigations electrical equipment that is generators l motors main and
emergency switchboards etc including tests maintenance procedure and time
interval to be followed
instrument ancient automation equipment that is if
CEO stroke EEOC class is included test maintenance procedures and time
intervals to be followed condition monitoring that is if applicable
specification of machinery covered including engine location and
orientation of sensors and measurement points
type and model of instrumentation schedule of measuring acceptance
criteria calibration interval of measuring device
it is a condition that baseline data are available routines for reporting and use
of the maintenance history data to continuous improvement of the planned
maintenance system
examples of all these documentation are to be submitted in
connection with the system approval together with a description of the
owners managers maintenance policy organization flowchart that is
identifying reporting procedures between vessel owners office and areas of
responsibility classification note number 10.1 chapter 4 point 5 when the
owners PMS has been approved and the system has been used on board for at
least six months the owner may request class Society for
an implementation survey in order to verify that the pms is implemented in
accordance with the approved documentation and that all components in
CMS EEO stroke EEOC if applicable are covered by the planned maintenance
system
during the implementation survey the surveyor shall verify that the following
items are fulfilled the ship is manned with a chief engineer having a valid
authorization letter issued by the society in accordance with the
requirements of the rules for classification of ships part 7 chapter 2
the personnel on board are familiar with and motivated towards using the planned
maintenance system as an important tool for improving safety
every job description an extent of main overhaul must at least cover or fulfill
the rules requirements for class survey with respect to opening up testing etc
the system can produce printout summary of class related items which have been
subject to main overhaul since Las annual survey acceptance criteria
limitations are clearly defined if any maintenance intervals are based on
condition monitoring CM it's clearly stated when maintenance
intervals are based on operation hours routines for reporting and use of
maintenance history data for continuous improvement of the PMS
