Safety Systems™
Technical management of LSA / FFE systems, operationally effective and ISM-ready
Safety on board under operational control.
- We provide continuous and structured management of all vessel safety systems (LSA / FFE), ensuring their operability, traceability, and consistent readiness for emergencies, inspections, and ISM audits.
- Our approach reduces operational uncertainty and the risk of deficiencies, keeping liferafts, lifeboats, evacuation means, FFE equipment, and drills properly controlled and up to date.
- We support the shipowner in the day-to-day management of onboard safety, including: monitoring of expiry dates and service intervals, coordination with service stations, Class and Flag, updating of manuals and emergency plans and technical preparation prior to inspections.

Case Study – Comprehensive preparation for ISM audit
Vessel: Ro-Ro cargo vessel · 110 m LOA
Situation
- Lack of traceability in LSA / FFE systems.
- Dispersed documentation and increased risk of non-conformities during ISM audits.
What was implemented?
The following actions were carried out:
- Structured control of LSA / FFE equipment, including inspections, tests and expiry dates.
- Review of emergency procedures and drills, aligned with ISM and SOLAS requirements.
- Digitalization of technical records, ensuring traceability and consistency.
- Preparation of evidence and a structured documentation dossier for the ISM audit.
Results
- ISM audit successfully passed, with no deficiencies or observations.
- 40% reduction in audit preparation time prior to the inspection.
- Digital, structured documentation, ready for subsequent Port State Control (PSC) inspections.
- Improved operational clarity for the crew and the ship’s management team.
