‘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.
