With the entry into force, in 1998, of the 1994
amendments to SOLAS, 1974, which introduced
a new chapter IX into the Convention, the ISM
Code was made mandatory. The ISM Codes
origins go back to the late 1980s, when there
was mounting concern about poor management
standards in shipping. The ISM Code evolved
through the development of the Guidelines on
management for the safe operation of ships and
for pollution prevention (resolution A.647(16)). The
Code, in its current form, was adopted by the
Organization in 1993 and amended in 2000, 2004,
2005, 2008 and 2013.
This edition of the publication consolidates the
amendments to the ISM Code from resolutions
MSC.104(73), MSC.179(79), MSC.195(80),
MSC.273(85), which entered into force on 1
July 2002, on 1 July 2006, on 1 January 2009,
and on 1 July 2010, respectively, and resolution
MSC.353(92), which enters into force on 1 January
2015.
This edition also includes:
SOLAS chapter IX, as amended;
Revised Guidelines on the implementation of the
International Safety Management (ISM) Code by
Administrations (resolution A.1071(28)), adopted
in December 2013;
Revised Guidelines for the operational
implementation of the International Safety
Management (ISM) Code by companies
(MSC-MEPC.7/Circ.8);
Guidance on the qualications, training and
experience necessary for undertaking the role
of the designated person under the provisions
of the International Safety Management Code
Guidance on near-miss reporting
(MSC-MEPC.7/Circ.6); and
Guidance on near-miss reporting
(MSC-MEPC.7/Circ.7).
This publication is an essential reference for
maritime administrations, ship owners and
operators, shipping companies, training providers
and education institutes, shipbuilders, engine and
equipment manufacturers and others with interest
in ensuring safety at sea and prevention of damage
to the environment.
