‘International Safety Management (ISM) Code means the International Management Code for the safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention

The purpose of ISM Code is:

* To ensure Safety at Sea

* To prevent human injury or loss of life

* To avoid damage to the environment and to the ship.

SOLAS adopted the ISM Code in 1994 and incorporated it into chapter IX. By 1998 much of the commercial shipping community was required to be in compliance with the ISM code. By 2002 almost all of the international shipping community was required to comply with the ISM Code.

MARPOL POLLUTION – 73/78

Marpol contains 6 annexes, concerned with preventing different forms of marine pollution from ships:

Annex I: Prevention of pollution by oil

Annex II: Control of pollution by noxious liquid substances

Annex III: Prevention of pollution by harmful substances in packaged form

Annex IV: Prevention of pollution by sewage from ships

Annex V: Prevention of pollution by garbage from ships

Annex VI: Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships

1. Annex I : Peraturan pencegahan pencemaran yang ditimbulkan oleh minyak (Oil) in bulk.

2. Annex II : Peraturan pencegahan pencemaran yang ditimbulkan oleh cairan berbahaya dalam bentuk curah ( Noxious liquid substances in bulk )

3. Annex III : Peraturan pencegahan pencemaran yang ditimbulkan oleh Zat – Zat berbahaya dalam kemasan ( Harmfull substances in package )

4. Annex IV : Peraturan pencegahan pencemaran yang ditimbulkan oleh pembuangan kotoran ( Sewage )

5. Peraturan pencegahan pencemaran yang ditimbulkan oleh Sampah ( Garbage ).

6. Peraturan pencegahan pencemaran yang ditimbulkan oleh Pencemaran udara ( Air pollution )

Isi dalam MARPOL bukan melarang pembuangan zat-zat pencemar ke laut, tetapi mengatur cara pembuangan nya. Agar dgn pembuangan tersebut laut tidak tercemar ( rusak ), dan ekosistim laut tetap terjaga.

What is an Electronic chart display system?

An electronic chart display system is a general term for all electronic equipment that is capable of displaying a vessel’s position on a chart image on a screen.

There are two classes of electronic chart display systems. The first is an ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), which can meet IMO/SOLAS chart carriage re­quirements. The second is an ECS (Electronic Chart System), which can be used to assist navigation, but does not meet IMO/SOLAS chart carriage requirements.

ECDIS

ECDIS equipment is specified in the IMO ECDIS Performance Standards as follows:

Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) means a navigation information system which, with adequate back up arrangements, can be accepted as complying with the up-to-date chart required by regulation V/1 9 & V/27 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention.

Where the term ECDIS is used in this document, this is to be understood as those naviga­tional electronic chart systems, which have been tested, approved and certified as com­pliant with the IMO ECDIS Performance Standards and other relevant IMO Performance Standards and thus is compliant with SOLAS ECDIS requirements.

ECS

ECS is specified in ISO 19379 as follows:

ECS is a navigation information system that electronically displays vessel position and relevant nautical chart data and information from an ECS Database on a display screen, but does not meet all the IMO requirements for ECDIS and is not intended to satisfy the SOLAS Chapter V require­ments to carry a navigational chart.

ECS equipment ranges from simple hand held GPS enabled devices to sophisticated stand­alone computer equipment interfaced to ship systems.

Where are the rules for professional marine navigation written down?

The 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS 1974), subse­quently amended in 2000 and 2002, specifies the requirements for the navigational equip­ment to be used onboard ships entitled to fly the flag of a party to the convention. This Convention was adopted by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), the United Nations Organisation that is concerned with maritime transportation.

IMO member states are obliged to adopt IMO rules and regulations into their national leg­islation. However, only when the convention text has been incorporated into national leg­islation does it take effect for the individual ships registered in that country. This process of incorporation into national legislation may vary from a few months to several years.

The country in which a ship is registered and hence which flag it is flying is known as the Flag State. It is the national maritime administration representing the Flag State, which controls the adherence to the SOLAS carriage requirements (Flag State control).

The national maritime administration is also responsible for Port State control. Ships arriv­ing at a port may be subject to Port State control by local officials (Port State Control Of­ficers – PSCOs) based on Flag State regulations and international agreements. Port states

cooperate within regions to apply consistent standards, for example the European nations and Canada cooperate under the umbrella of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (Paris MOU).

What are the IMO requirements for the carriage of nautical charts?

History

The IMO states that "The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) is a comprehensive set of measures to enhance the security of ships and port facilities, developed in response to the perceived threats to ships and port facilities in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in the United States" (IMO)

Development and implementation were speeded up drastically in reaction to the September 11, 2001 attacks and the bombing of the French oil tanker Limburg. The U.S. Coast Guard, as the lead agency in the United States delegation to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), advocated for the measure. The Code was agreed at a meeting of the 108 signatories to the SOLAS convention in London in December 2002. The measures agreed under the Code were brought into force on July 1, 2004

Scope

The Code is a two-part document describing minimum requirements for security of ships and ports. Part A provides mandatory requirements. Part B provides guidance for implementation.

The ISPS Code applies to ships on international voyages (including passenger ships, cargo ships of 500 GT and upwards, and mobile offshore drilling units) and the port facilities serving such ships.

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

To collate and promulgate security-related information

To provide a methodology for security assessments so as to have in place plans and procedures to react to changing security levels

PLAN MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (PMS)

Apa itu PMS? beberapa minggu yang lalu di telivisi nasional rame pemberitaan mengenai kecelakaan pesawat TNI angkatan udara kita yang berjatuhan tak berdaya. Kemudian bermunculan lah opini dan saling lempar tangung jawab. dalam perdebatan, pembicaraan yang sempat terlintas di kuping saya ketika sedang liwat di depan pesawat televisi adalah sebuah kata yang mengimpirasi saya sehingga saya menulis artikel ini adalah PEMELIHARAAN.

Pemeliharaan adalah Sebuah kata yang menurut saya sangat bermakna bagi sesuatu milik kepunyaan, property atau benda. Sehingga kata tersebut menjadi harapan bagi pemilik benda agar kalo bisa tetap berkualitas, tetap kuat, tahan lama dan tetap eksis “kata yang empunya barang”

Tetapi apalah di kata.. hukum alam tidak bisa di ubah tetapi hanya bisah di minimalis pengaruhnya. Dari persaingan bersama waktu mulai dari saat material sudah di bentuk menjadi sebuah benda yang dikenal sampai dengan suatu masa dimana yang oleh para pencipta alat tersebut menamakan nya Expire. Batas waktu karena proses kimia.“Waktu melapukan Kayu” atau pun pada sebuah batas waktu di mana “besi menjadi karat” sehingga tidak layak di gunakan.

Dari inspirasi saya tersebut saya mencoba mengaitkannya dengan dunia kita di dunia pelayaran, pengoperasian Armada kapal Laut atau merchant ships untuk berniaga. Di atur dalam Safety management code for ship yang kita kenal ISM Code adalah “Plan Maintenance system” PMS.

Berbicara tentang inspeksi, meriksa memeriksa di atas kapal, saya pada awal mengalaminya saat Eksternal Audit wah uda pada ngapalin tugas-tugas masing-masing dan beberapa poin yang di bagikan C/O. uda dek dekan ngapalinya. Trus adalagi nih katanya kalo kapal masuk singapore naik PSC gawat lagi bisa di turunin.. hehe buat cuit nyali juga sih.. mo join ke perusahaan luar.

Aturan atau regulation selalu terlintas di benak kita akan pekiran yang ruwet, was-was dan sebagainya. Namun, sebenarnya menghadapi sebuah Inspection tidak lah harus cemas bekerja dengan keras, tetapi jalanilah pekerjaan di atas kapal sebagaimana biasanya. Tentu dalam arti biasanya yang sesuai dengan waktu kerja, porsi kerja dan regulation pula. Dengan tanda kutip bukan bekerja ala di kapal tug boat, yang sebagian besar hanya pada tugas classic saja yaitu: jaga, makan tidur, bangun nyampe pelabuhan dan pulang rumah… Maaf ya bukan menyinggung. please jgn marah. he2.

Berlayar jaman sekarang bisa dikatakan paling mudah di banding bapak2 kita pelaut tahun 80-an. sekarang ini sangat di manjakan dengan segala kemudahan dari kemajuan tehnologi, baik perangkat Navigasi yang canggi, permesinan yang serba automatic dimana pengoperasiannya tinggal jaga alarm berbunyi artinya anda harus bergegas dari tempat duduk dan melihat tindakan apa yang anda harus ambil.
