Safety Management System (SMS) Review Software for Maritime Compliance

A connected platform that turns complexity into confidence — across vessel maintainence, procurement, budgets, QHSE, compliance, audits, crewing and beyond.

From Periodic Reviews to Continuous SMS Governance

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.

Structured SMS Reviews That Reflect Real Operational Risk

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.

ISMCode Aligned

PRIME Marine’s SMS Review is fully aligned with ISM Code Sections 9 and 12, ensuring structured evaluation, continuous improvement, and documentation of the Safety Management System across all vessels.
