What's inside

  • SOLAS chapter IX, Management for the safe operation of ships
  • The ISM Code, with its amendments
  • Guidelines for the operational implementation of the ISM Code by Companies
  • Guidance on the qualifications, training and experience of the designated person ashore
  • Guidance on near-miss reporting
  • Guidelines on maritime cyber risk management, and resolution MSC.428(98) on cyber risk in safety management systems

Why it matters

The ISM Code has been mandatory under SOLAS chapter IX since 1 July 1998. Every company and ship it applies to needs a documented safety management system, a Document of Compliance for the company and a Safety Management Certificate for each ship. Resolution MSC.428(98) asks administrations to make sure cyber risks are addressed in safety management systems no later than the first annual verification of the company's Document of Compliance after 1 January 2021.

Who uses it

Shipowners and operators, designated persons ashore, masters and officers, internal and external auditors, flag administrations and maritime training providers.

Is the 2018 Edition the latest ISM Code?

Yes. The 2018 Edition is the current IMO edition of the ISM Code and Guidelines.

Is the ISM Code mandatory?

Yes. It has been mandatory under SOLAS chapter IX since 1 July 1998.

Does it cover cyber risk?

Yes. It includes resolution MSC.428(98) and IMO's Guidelines on maritime cyber risk management as first issued. IMO has since revised those guidelines (MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3/Rev.4), which are published separately.

Can I return a digital edition?
