14 CERTIFICATION, VERIFICATION AND CONTROL
The Company will apply for - and seek to maintain the validity of - a Document of
Compliance with the ISM Code from the Administration of the flag state in which its ships are
registered.
A valid copy of this document will be posted aboard each of its vessels as evidence that the
Company is capable of complying with the requirements of the Code through the
implementation of its documented PSMM.
The administration, or its recognized organisation, will then verify that the shipboard
management of each vessel is operating in accordance with the approved MMS before issuing
to that ship a Safety Management Certificate which will remain valid for a maximum period
of five years.
It is to be clearly understood by all personnel responsible for the application of any part
of the PSMM that under the ISM Code, a ship can only be operated by a company that is
in possession of a valid Document of Compliance or Interim Document of Compliance
Furthermore, no company can operate a ship that is not in possession of a valid Safety
Management Certificate or interim Safety Management Certificate
It is therefore imperative that all employees familiarize themselves with their
responsibilities with respect to the PSMM and diligently apply themselves to their duties in order
that the validity of any of the above certificates is not jeopardized.
