PNSC Safety Management System (SMS)
In compliance with the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, PNSC has established a comprehensive Safety Management System (SMS) that integrates all elements of the ISM Code. This system aligns with applicable international codes, guidelines, and standards recommended by flag state administrations, classification societies, and the broader maritime industry.
Our SMS is a structured framework designed to ensure safe ship operations, environmental protection, and continuous improvement of personnel competence both ashore and at sea.
Safety Management Objectives
- Promote safe practices in ship operations and ensure a safe working environment.
- Establish safeguards against all identified operational and environmental risks.
- Continuously enhance the safety management skills of personnel ashore and onboard, emphasizing emergency preparedness and pollution prevention.
We believe that fostering a genuine safety culture—where safety is an integral part of every decision—serves as the most effective safeguard against accidents and environmental incidents.
