A valid question:
Why should a shipping company or ship manager ask for an independent management review, performed by Chemical Marine, which includes cost and workload for the office? The answer is simple:
Advantage of an external TMSA Audit / Review
It is independent!
Highlighting any exposure of the senior management - if identified.
Reality Check: Getting an opinion without any conflict of interest.
Not involved in the commercial activities of your company.
Open reporting because independent from your company.
Continuous improvement, if carried out in regular intervals.
AND: It is for guidance only - you can take the recommendations into consideration but you don’t have to do so.
What kind of TMSA Audits can be provided?
