Own the change register, prepare revisions and chase acknowledgments across the fleet
- The places a change lands, mapped by agents
- Checklists a search misses, found before audit
- Acknowledgments counted per person, not by scan
Document control for the safety management system shipping companies keep aboard: one change mapped to every procedure, form, ship and crew member it touches, closed only when each person has acknowledged it and each master has confirmed the old copy removed.
See one SMS change mapped, redlined and challenged ↓A rule, a flag circular or an audit finding reaches the HSQE mailbox and goes into a change register. Someone searches the SMS for the words they expect, and checklists worded around the cargo gear register never match.
The revision is edited in a word processor with its reasons left in email, reviewed by email and approved on a signature sheet. Masters print, brief, sign and scan; crew on leave and ships in drydock fall through, a printed old revision stays in the engine control room file, and crew answer questions from whichever copy is nearest.

A rule change or audit finding has to reach every procedure, form, ship and crew member, and the trail is kept by hand.
Kept by hand ashore
Built-in controls
The fleet moves to the new revision together, with a trail an auditor can follow.
HSQE managers, technical superintendents and the DPA work through them to carry one change through the SMS manual and the fleet. The screens follow a crane rule across a bulk fleet.
demoThe manager, its fleet, the crew, documents and numbers on screen are sample data.
Each signs or confirms a different step, and the trail shows who did which.

Finds each procedure, form and checklist the change touches, then the ships and the people.
Drafts each revision change by change with a source, asks makers for current manuals and proposes rules from rulings.
Reads drafts and returns as a flag or class ISM auditor would, the agents' own drafts included.
Issues approved revisions, asks for acknowledgments in fixed fields, chases and withdraws obsolete revisions.

Safety management system shipping software keeps a ship manager's ISM safety management system current: valid documents where they are used, changes reviewed and approved by authorized people, obsolete copies removed. Here agents map each change to the procedures, forms, ships and people it touches, and people review, approve and acknowledge it.
It asks for procedures that control SMS documents and data, valid documents at each relevant location, changes reviewed and approved by authorized personnel, obsolete documents promptly removed, and each ship carrying the documentation relevant to it. The screens paraphrase the Code; the IMO text governs.
The designated person ashore, as the authorized person, after reading the amendment notice and opening a source. The technical superintendent reviews technical content first and the HSQE manager prepares; nobody approves what they prepared.
Per person, with name, rank, date, the notice number and the documents opened for their department. A return quoting an older notice is not counted, and a ship closes only when its master confirms the old copy removed.
Yes. Answers come only from the revision in force on that ship, citing section and revision. Whether equipment may be used is never decided by the agents; the assistant names the master and the technical superintendent.
Here the DPA signs SMS revisions as the authorized person under the company's document control procedure, confirms deferrals as second person and approves rules learned from earlier rulings.
