At Breaking the Mould Yachting Limited, we are dedicated to providing top-quality yachting services that prioritize safety, smooth operations, and protecting the environment. To ensure we meet these standards, we follow the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, which helps us manage safety and environmental concerns while operating our yachts.
In this blog, we’ll explain what ISM procedures and systems are, and how we use them to make sure our yachts run safely and efficiently.
The International Safety Management (ISM) Code is a set of rules created by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). It helps companies that manage ships and yachts by setting standards for safe operations and environmental protection. The ISM Code requires companies to create a Safety Management System (SMS), which is a plan that outlines procedures to follow in order to keep everything safe, prevent accidents, and protect the environment.
The ISM Code includes a few key ideas to ensure safety and reduce risks. These are:
At Breaking the Mould Yachting Limited, we make sure to follow ISM procedures by designing systems that work for our yachts and crew. Here’s how we do it:
We have a detailed Safety Management System (SMS) in place that covers every aspect of yacht management. This includes procedures for maintenance, safety drills, emergency responses, and navigational safety. All procedures are clearly written down and available to the crew, so everyone knows exactly what to do. We also update our SMS regularly to keep it in line with new rules and best practices.
Our safety policy shows how committed we are to ensuring a safe environment for everyone on board. This policy is shared with all our crew members, from the captain to the deckhands. We focus on creating a culture where safety is the top priority, and we also take steps to protect the environment during our operations.
We carefully identify and manage risks that could affect the safety of our yacht and crew. We conduct regular safety audits and assessments to find any potential dangers. Our crew members are trained to respond quickly and correctly in an emergency, such as a fire or a person falling overboard. We practice emergency drills to make sure everyone is ready for any situation.
We also take steps to avoid accidents in the first place, with regular checks and maintenance of the yacht’s equipment and systems.
Training is an important part of our ISM procedures. We make sure every crew member gets the training they need to stay safe and efficient. This includes training on safety protocols, emergency situations, navigation skills, and protecting the environment. We also ensure our officers have the leadership skills needed to manage the team effectively.
Training doesn’t stop after initial courses—our crew continues to learn and stay updated on industry standards to improve their skills.
We carefully monitor the performance of our safety systems to make sure they’re working properly. This includes conducting internal audits and inviting external auditors to check that we’re meeting the ISM Code. These audits help us find areas where we can improve. Our management team reviews the safety system regularly to see if it’s meeting our goals and make changes if needed.
At Breaking the Mould Yachting Limited, safety and environmental protection are at the core of what we do. Following the ISM Code helps us ensure that our yachts are managed safely, our crew is well-trained, and our environmental impact is minimized. This not only keeps everyone on board safe but also ensures that our yachts operate smoothly and reliably.
By following the ISM Code, we also contribute to protecting our oceans. We are committed to using eco-friendly practices and technologies to help reduce our impact on the environment and make sure future generations can enjoy the seas.
At Breaking the Mould Yachting Limited, we are fully committed to ensuring that safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility are part of every part of our operation. Our ISM procedures and systems help us maintain high standards, protect our crew and clients, and reduce our impact on the environment.
By using the ISM Code, we’re able to provide safe, enjoyable, and reliable yachting experiences. Our team is dedicated to improving every aspect of our operations, and we take pride in our commitment to excellence.
