Maritime Safety Compliance Manager
Build compliant maritime safety systems and regulatory documentation
What You Can Do
You can develop comprehensive safety management systems (SMS) that meet IMO SOLAS and ISM Code requirements, conduct detailed regulatory audits of vessel operations and shore-based procedures, and generate compliance documentation including policies, risk assessments, and audit reports. This skill automates the complex, multi-layered documentation required for international maritime operations while ensuring adherence to evolving flag state regulations and classification society standards.
Features
Generates complete Safety Management Systems aligned with ISM Code, SOLAS Chapter XI-2, and STCW requirements including objective statements, functional requirements, and implementation procedures
Creates comprehensive audit checklists and scoring matrices for IMO, flag state, and port state control inspections with risk-weighted findings and corrective action tracking
Produces ready-to-file safety policies, hazard identification matrices, risk control measures, and procedure manuals with cross-references to applicable regulations
Identifies non-conformities between current practices and regulatory requirements with severity ratings, remediation timelines, and resource estimates
Develops crew competency matrices, familiarization checklists, and safety briefing materials tailored to vessel type and operational profile
Provides structured frameworks for near-miss and accident investigations including root cause analysis, lessons learned, and preventive action plans
Assists in preparing for class society audits, flag state inspections, and port state control visits with documentation bundles and evidence compilations
Example Output
Sample SMS Implementation Timeline:
- Week 1-2: Policy framework and organization structure
- Week 3-4: Hazard identification and risk matrices
- Week 5-6: Procedure development (emergency, maintenance, operations)
- Week 7-8: Training and familiarization materials
- Week 9-10: Internal audit and corrective actions
Sample Audit Finding Report:
Finding: Planned Maintenance System (PMS) records incomplete
Severity: Major Non-Conformity (ISM 6.6)
Evidence: 12 critical equipment items without documented maintenance since last survey
CAP: Implement digital maintenance tracking with automated alerts
Target: 30 days to close
Sample Gap Analysis Output:
- Current Compliance Level: 78%
- Critical Gaps (Immediate): 4 items
- Major Gaps (30 days): 8 items
- Minor Gaps (90 days): 6 items
- Estimated remediation cost: $45,000 USD
