Abstract

These Regulations, made by the Minister responsible for Maritime Administration, in exercise of the power conferred by section 122 of the Merchant Shipping Act 2002, provide for certification of ships for purposes of the ISM Code and SOLAS. An ISM company must not operate a ship to which these Regulations apply unless the requirements in these Regulations are complied with in relation to that ship. An ISM company is either the owner of a ship or a person that has assumed responsibility for the operation of the ship and has agreed with the owner to take over all the duties and responsibilities imposed by the ISM Code. A designated person shall, among other things, monitor the safe and efficient operation of that ship, with particular regard to safety and pollution prevention aspects. A Certifying Authority may suspend or cancel any relevant document issued these Regulations on, among other things, pollution prevention considerations.
