INTERNATIONAL SAFETY MANAGEMENT CODE(ISM)

Dear readers I have written this post keeping in mind that the sailing Engineers /Navigators have very little time to see the theoritical part .So the matter is compiled in a brief description type page.

WHAT IS ISM CODE..?
International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention .

BASIS..?
ISO 9001.

PURPOSE..?
To Minimise accidents and pollution at sea by the ships.

WHO DEVELOPED…MORE..?
International Maritime Organization, the International Safety Management (ISM) Code was made mandatory in 1994 by the adoption of Chapter IX of SOLAS. Implementation was mandatory for all passenger ships, tankers, chemical carriers (and gas and bulk carriers over 500 gross tons) on July 1, 1998. July 1, 2002 was the deadline for general cargo ships over 500 gross tons and offshore units.

WHAT IS THE REQUIREMENT OF ISM CODE…?
… that the company:

1) Establish a Safety and Environmental Protection Policy.
2) Define responsibilities and authority both ashore and afloat.
3) Appoint a designated person (or person).
4) Define the Master’s responsibilities under the Code.
5) Provide adequate resources and personnel.
6) Develop plans for shipboard operations.
7) Identify and prepare for all emergency situations.
8) Report all accidents, incidents and hazardous occurrences.
9) Ensure ship and equipment are properly maintained.
10) Follow strict document control procedures.
11) Conduct Internal Audits and Management Review Meetings.

Once a company has developed and implemented their Safety Management System, it must be audited by an independent third party company authorized by the administration of the vessel’s flag state. If the company is found to comply with the requirements of the ISM Code, it will be issued a Document of Compliance (DOC). Then each vessel operated by the company must be audited. If found to be compliant, the vessel will be issued a Safety Management Certificate (SMC).

How long does a D.O.C. last for?

5 years plus/minus 3 months (it also has an annual inspection)

How long does a S.M.S. last for?

5 years with an inspection every 2-3 years to keep it valid

What IS the foundation of a S.M.S.?

The Code of Safe Working Practice

What are the bare-bones of the I.S.M. code?

The safety and management system (S.M.S.)

What ships does the I.S.M. apply to?

From 2002 all ships over 500grt

Aouthor is sailing as chief engineer onboard Tankers

BUNKER CALCULATION ONBOARD SHIPS

BUNKER CALCULATION
It has been observed that even for such a simple procedure much headache is being taken.
The bunker calculation is simple and needs the following:
- Tank Sounding data and Tank Capacity Table. The Corrected Sounding means below is the sounding after correcting with vessel’s trim and list.
- Temperature of Oil on Tanks,
- Oil Density @15C,
- Table ASTM 54B (VCF) and Table ASTM 56 (WCF
Commonly this is done prior to and after a time charter period than mentions as On Hire Bunker (prior) and Off Hire Bunker (after), the Bunker Survey is required to check the amount Bunker transferred or supplied onto the Ship’s Tanks. This job is associated with Ship’s Chief Engineer, the Person who responsible for bunker onboard.
Now we could go with sample of 1 tank to test the calculation.
** Question :
FO Tank No. 1 Center, Corrected Sounding = 3.27 Meter, Temperature = 34 degrees celcius, Density @ 15 C = 0.9870.
Tank Volume at Sounding 3.20 M = 157.20 Cubic Meter, at Sounding 3.30 M = 163.60 Cubic Meter.
** Answer :
- The Quantity in Metric Ton = Oil Vol x VCF x WCF,
- Observe Volume = {(3.27 – 3.20) / (3.30 – 3.05) x (163.60 – 157.20)} + 157.20 = (0.07/0.10) x (6.40) + 157.20 = 4.48 + 157.20 = 161.68 Cu.M.
- T 54B (VCF) > Density @ 15C 0.9903 at 34 C = 0.9870 (see the picture below you need to interpolate if any different numbers on both columns).
T 56 (WCF) : Density @15C 0.9903 at 34 C = 0.9892 (Quick formula with reducing factor for WCF is Density @ 15C – 0.0011 = 0.9903 – 0.0011 = 0.9892). We don’t need to see the table anymore.
- So, The Quantity in MT is 161.68 x 0.9870 x 0.9892 = 157.85 MT. Sample calculation tanks sounding attached below.
If you do calculation with Volume in Barrel, just uses ASTM Table 6B for VCF, ASTM Table 11
for WCF in Long Ton and then ASTM Table 13 for WCF in Metric Ton.

Worked on various types of vessels,viz,Gen Cargo,Bulk Carrier,Passenger,Tanker,Anchor handling vessel .I started writing when I was only 13 yrs old.One Book of urdu ghazals(“AAHISTA KADAM RAKHNA”) is in press ,other two(“BETWEEN THE STORM “)and (“THE OTHER SIDE OF SEA”)is still unfinished.
Beside this I am State Secretary (uttarakhand State) of” YOUTHS”an organization devoted to the cuse of social upliftment of tribals of the himalayan state.Stayed president of college student union for two years in Nagpur University.Born in erstwhile zamindar family of Sarrah garh W. UP.

here is a recent one.
“yahi wo nazar hai yahi wo sada hai
yahi raat din tumko bulati rahegi

bhulana agar fir hume chaho tum to
koi bebasi tumko rulati rahegi.”…..

will complete it and come back to you

I WANT TO TELL YOU………..

Once again i am here with you. Not getting enough time to come to you. The sound of machines and the swollen waves of Atlantic with the cold wind coming from the north tell me that the winters are coming ,its time to smell the aroma of cheed and devdars …………….

Find me elsewhere …………..with my work..

here are a couple of  new urdu ghazals………which i wrote while in Turkey(last December)

TUMHE DEKHA NAHI ZAB SE DHUAN SA HAR SAVERA HAI

JAHAN JAYEN JIDHAR JAYE.N ANDHERA HI ANDHERA HAI

KI EK BECHAIN SI KHUSHBOO MERE KAMRE ME FIRTI HAI

MIRI KISMAT ME LIKHA KYU HAMESHA NAAM TERA HAI

AZAB BARSAAT KA MAUSAM MIRI PALKO.N PE THAHRA HAI

PARESHA.N AKK BAADAL SA KAHA.N MERA BASERA HAI

CHALE AAO CHALE AAO KI UMRA AAKHIR KO AATI HAI

NAZAR KE SAAMNE AB TAK BAS EK TERA CHEHRA HAI

                     “Main zisko aksar ……………….”

main zisko aksar sochtaa tha wo kisi khwab mee mubtla (busy)tha

raat bhar muskrata raha meri chat par subah chand charon taraf bikhra pada tha

bahut door tak mire saath saath chaltaa raha koi aaz fir wo shazar(tree)tanha khada tha.

kis se poochte pariyon ki duniya ka pata zahan se aaya wo wahin laout gaya tha.

……………………………will come back to you soon.

As we sail leaving everthing behind on shore,only remembrance alive in the heart and a sailor crosses th vast ocean with these days and nights.
here is a couple of new ghazals from my book “Aahista kadam rakhna”

Aahista kadam rakhna yeh dil ki zamin hai
yahan khoi si aankhon me teri tasveer thami hai

hamne yeh dekha hai tum bhi to kabhi dekho
sooraz ki palkon par shabnam ki nami hai

mana ki pareshan hun tu bhi to parishan hai
hairan hum main dil me tu kis mitti ki bani hai

yeh kaisi kasam de di neendo ko meri tune
aankhen yahan barson se ab khawab nashin hain.

Na jana ………………….

NA JANA TUMHE HAI NA DEKHA ABHI
ABHI TAK MERE KHWAB ME KYU TUM HO

SAWALO.N KA ZANGAL MERE SAMNE HAI
MERI DHDKANO.N ME KYU GUMSUM HO

KAHA.N CHAHTO.N KE SITARE KHILE
KAHA.N YE MARASIM(RISHTA) LIKHA GAYA

KAHU.N AUR KYA LIKHU.N KYA KYA
MERE NAGMO.N KI TUMHI TUM DHUN HO

NA JANA TUMHE…………..

will again come to you to tell the sea stories and ouur feelings.
