Regulation is only useful when it works on board. MARCARE helps ship management companies design, implement and continuously improve Safety Management Systems that satisfy the Flag State, Port State Control, vetting inspectors and — most importantly — the crew who use them every day.
ISM / ISPS / MLC Audits
We prepare your company and vessels for internal and external audits under the ISM Code, the ISPS Code and the Maritime Labour Convention. Our auditors identify gaps early, deliver pragmatic corrective actions and conduct internal audits on your behalf so that certification audits become a formality.
- Gap analyses and pre-audit health checks
- Internal audits (company and shipboard)
- Corrective action plans and non-conformity closure
- Document of Compliance & Safety Management Certificate support
- Ship Security Assessments and Ship Security Plans
- MLC 2006 DMLC Part II preparation
Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM)
As a fully certified IHM service provider, MARCARE manages the entire IHM lifecycle: from Visual/Sampling Check Plans and on-board sampling, through laboratory analysis, to the compiled IHM Part I and its ongoing maintenance. We ensure compliance with the EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) and the Hong Kong Convention so that your vessels can call at any port without delay.
