Purpose of ships planned maintenance system and how to use it
From the requirements of the ISM,
code shipowner must have written plans, procedures, and guidelines for the shipboard operations on a
particular vessel (including how cargo is loaded, stowed and secured) and the maintenance of the ship and
its cargo equipment. This inevitably means that these procedures will be subjected to scrutiny in the
event of loss or damage. In this context, of even greater significance is the reporting system required by
the Code whereby reports on problems encountered are generated. Appropriate corrective action is to be taken to remedy
the defect in the way the ship is operated. Then monitoring of the change is implemented to ensure the
revised system works. All of these steps must be fully documented.
