Tanker Management and Self-Assessment (TMSA)

The Tanker Management and Self-Assessment (TMSA) best-practice guide, established by Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) is a comprehensive management system which encourage self-regulation and promote continuous improvement among tanker operators.

It makes a clear distinction between the ship owners that merely aim to comply with the minimum requirements of the ISM code and those that embrace the spirit of the Code.
Vessel operators are encouraged to use their assessment results to develop phased improvement plans that can be applied, as appropriate, across their entire fleet and to share TMSA’s with potential charterers via the TMSA database.

Operators are encouraged to regularly review and update their TMSA, at least annually, in the interest of continuous improvement.

Sagital Marine Services performs TMSA audits on behalf of OCIMF submitted members. Also we can assist operators to set up their TMSA programme as well as reviewing their TMSA rating and their improvement. These audits are to client specification and may involve full review of all elements, random check or targeted assessment.
