Reduce regulatory risk, strengthen security, and cut emissions. Integrated programs for ISPS, environmental and safety management, and supply chain security.
Three critical areas driving maritime industry transformation and regulatory focus
ISPS compliance for ships and port facilities under SOLAS XI-2. Mandatory Part A requirements with Part B guidance for comprehensive port facility security plans and risk assessments.
MARPOL Annex I–VI controls covering oil, noxious liquids, harmful substances, sewage, garbage, and air pollution. Comprehensive waste reception and environmental management systems.
EU ETS maritime from 2024, FuelEU Maritime from 2025, and IMO EEXI/CII mandatory measures. Carbon accounting, allowance strategies, and GHG-intensity reductions.
Supply-chain security management systems (SeMS) for ports and operators. Integrates with ISPS Code requirements for comprehensive maritime security.
Environmental management systems with MARPOL operational controls for garbage, sewage, and air emissions during port operations.
Safety management for high-risk maritime activities: stevedoring, crane operations, confined spaces, hot work, and Ro-Ro ramp operations.
Quality management for port and terminal service delivery including gate operations, yard management, and vessel operations efficiency.
Information security for port community systems, terminal operating systems (TOS), and port community systems (PCS).
Business continuity management for port disruptions including channel closures, IT outages, strikes, and weather events.
Management systems for ship recycling facilities and yards
Private security operations for port guards and contractors
Mandatory security regime for ships and port facilities. Part A mandatory requirements, Part B guidance for Port Facility Security Assessments and Plans.
IMO Guidelines →International pollution prevention covering oil, noxious liquids, harmful substances in packaged form, sewage, garbage, and air pollution from ships.
MARPOL Framework →Phased implementation from 2024: 40% (2024), 70% (2025), 100% (2026). Coverage for 100% intra-EU voyages, 50% extra-EU legs. CO₂ first, CH₄/N₂O from 2026.
EU Climate Action →Fully applicable from January 1, 2025. Mandates GHG-intensity reductions for energy used by ships in EU/EEA waters.
EU Mobility & Transport →Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index mandatory from January 1, 2023. Annual Carbon Intensity Indicator ratings from 2024.
IMO Energy Efficiency →Implemented integrated ISO 9001/14001/45001/28000 with ISPS drills and ETS data integration with carriers. Enhanced operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Comprehensive spill-risk controls tied to MARPOL Annex I, hot-work and confined space program under ISO 45001, plus business continuity management for cyclone season.
Deployed ISO 30000 management system with comprehensive waste tracking and medical surveillance programs. Significantly improved stakeholder acceptance and regulatory compliance.
No. ISPS under SOLAS XI-2 is a mandatory security regime for ships and port facilities. ISO 28000 is a voluntary management system that strengthens and systematizes security beyond the baseline ISPS requirements.
Key areas include Annex V garbage reception facilities, Annex I oily residue management, and Annex VI air emissions control during port stay and bunkering operations.
Carriers must surrender allowances on qualifying voyages and meet GHG-intensity targets for energy used in EU waters. Expect increased data sharing, fuel specification, and operational coordination requests from shipping lines.
Yes. We recommend using an integrated management system approach to share risk registers, audit programs, and management reviews across ISO 9001/14001/45001/28000/22301 for maximum efficiency.
Standard timelines: 12–18 weeks for ISO 9001/14001/45001; 12–16 weeks for ISO 28000; 10–14 weeks for ISO 22301. Multi-site operations require additional sampling time.
