Vessel safety management system templates to better manage safety in your maritime operation.
Our simple, affordable and practical SMS templates empower commercial vessel operators and superyacht managers to create a robust safety document. Designed for fishing, shipping, charters, workboats, ferries and yachts, these easy-to-use templates guide you in building a fully functional, regulatory-compliant SMS without costly consultants.
Our team of industry leading marine surveyors, naval architects and marine engineers developed the interactive Safety Management System (SMS) templates specifically to assist with USCG compliance. We understand how the maritime industry operates and the challenges of compliance and safety management for vessel operators and owners.
After recent major marine casualties and recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the U.S. Coast Guard is poised to propose new regulations for domestic passenger vessels. These recommendations include evaluating the potential use of Safety Management Systems to improve safety on passenger vessels.
Following major incidents, the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004 reclassified towing vessels as subject to inspection and established requirements for safety management systems. U.S.-flag towing vessels engaged in pushing, pulling or hauling alongside are all subject to Subchapter M of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Theses interactive SMS templates make it easier for all owners and operators to implement a Safety Management System that meets the requirements of 33 CFR part 96. The templates will guide you in customizing the SMS for your operation and are available for single vessels, fleets, passenger vessels and superyachts. Choose a template to learn more.
