Just a comment on the quotation given by Capt, Sanchez.
Yes, 95% compliance in paper and record.
but if would notice each and every year there is a major ship accident in the Philippines.
it is my opinion that companies are complying with ISM regarding certifications, because it is a requirement of them. but is it really safe to say that the safety culture really practiced?
thanks Capt. Sanchez for your comment.
Joel:
In line with your study on the status of ISM Code implementation in the domestic shipping fleet, let me quote an excerpt from a paper published by former Prez F.V.R. on July 18, 2009:
".....Reportedly, the Philippines is now at a 95 percent compliance level on IMO conventions. Government has managed to gradually implement the International Safety Management (ISM) Code. MARINA is phasing out next year wooden-hulled vessels above 3 gross tons. On the issue of excess loads, PCG has scrapped the 10 percent allowable overbooking of passengers on domestic vessels...."
