A Safety Management System is only effective when it reflects real onboard operations. For ship managers, keeping the SMS current and risk-aligned is difficult when reviews depend on emails, static documents, and manual coordination. PRIME Marine’s SMS Review System adds structure and continuity by linking reviews with operational data, incidents, audits, and safety feedback—keeping the SMS compliant, practical, and inspection-ready.
An SMS review is a critical control under the ISM Code—not a formality. PRIME Marine standardises how reviews are planned, conducted, documented, and followed up, ensuring consistency across vessels and shore teams. By linking findings to real operational inputs—incidents, audits, safety meetings, and drills—management gains confidence that the SMS reflects actual risks, crew feedback, and operational realities.

The module includes a specific section for the Master's Review. Masters can access a dedicated form to provide their feedback on the SMS's effectiveness from their perspective onboard. These submissions are then automatically collated and presented as a key discussion point during the shore-based management review meeting, ensuring this vital feedback loop is never broken.
