1. Comparison between the ISM and the ISPS codesA quick comparison
2. Codes of Same originThe ISM code -International Safety Management Code- has been created to manage safety in a shipping company and on board its shipsThe ISPS code (international ship and Port facility securitry code) has been created to manage the security of the ships and the port facilities frequented by them
3. SimilaritiesThey are International codes applicable to ships over 500 GT running internationnallyApply to passenger ships of any tonnage working internationnallyApply to terminals where they work (only for the ISPS code) what about for safety of terminals ????This is an international approach under the SOLAS convention
4. Subtile particularity for the offshore industryBoth codes apply to MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) wheighting certainly more than 500 all of them The other units which are self propelled (pipe laying for example) must follow the SOLAS requirements : they are ships anyway!NBSometimes on other non-self propelled units, the flag or the coastal state requires compliance with ISM and ISPS (Brazil, Marshall Islands, Liberia …)
5. the ISPS code…Implement a global cooperation with private or State operators for the protection of ships and terminalsIn fine, ships and ports are taken proportianal protection measures via a classic management system for security with the cooperation of legal authorities: police, army, navy, customs, immigration, coast guards, intelligence servicesThe further actions are from the State: terrorism, illegal traficking, migrants, intelligence and national cyber security
6. The ISM code requires …All items for a modern management system:Description of tasks and responsibilities of all persons involved in the safety of shipsLevel of skill and preparation of personnel and crews to emergenciesAvailability of requied resourcesReporting system from the base to the top via a DPA and an operation of feedbackAn internal verification system in order to rectify and to improve
7. Practically speakingThe ISM code requires a SMS with at a minimum: Objectives and operating procedures via an accident prevention system and a continuous improvement approachThe mandatory operation of the SMS isin hands of the shipping companyWhile the verification of conformity and operation is in hands of the flag
8. DifferencesThe ISM code applies to companies operationg ships (shipping, dredging, offshore, search and development) and their operated ships or unitsThe ISPS code applies only to ships and terminals
9. DefinitionsMaritime Safety: organization of actions to prevent and manage unpredictable accidentsMaritime Security: organization of prevention of illicit incident and management of consequencesSecurity could have been included in the SafetyOn board ships it is normal to link security with safety managementIn ports it is also more frequent today to see security managed at the same time of safety
10. Other similaritiesThe ISM code requires toset up a safety Management manual dealing with safety and pollution prevention which can be called Safety Plan which inclues risks assessment and mitigating measuresThe ISPS code requires risk assessment of threats and implementation of reduction measures in a Security Plan
11. The differences are in the definitions:Safety incidents are of involontary and random typesWhile security incidents are voluntary acts from wrongdoersIn case of successfull security incident, the further measures of recovery are of safety matters
12. One particularity of the ISM code is the DPAThe Designated person ashore ensure the laison between the ship and the top management, and ensure that important information will be transmitted to them in order to ensure the providing of ressources to the Ship’s masterIn security, the Company Security Officer (CSO) ensures the threats assessments, the correction of security deficiencies and operation of the security plans and many other things
13. Validity of certificatesQuenquennal validity and renewal are common to both codesAssessment and plans are concerned as well as the certificatesTo renew a certificate objectives evidence of operation of the safety or security plans must be producedOnly shipsshould be able to show their certificates
14. ConclusionWhat is missing for a comprehensive integrated system ? :Includes the security of the port in addition of port facility securityMade the management of safety of port operations mandatory by a new chapter of the SOLAS convention
