Safety is not a department.
It is how we operate.

Our framework

Cargo Nexus operates a Safety Management System aligned to:

• ISM Code: the IMO's International Safety Management Code, the backbone of every ship manager's SMS.
• ISO 9001:2015: Quality Management Systems.
• ISO 14001:2015: Environmental Management Systems.
• ISO 45001:2018: Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems.
• OCIMF TMSA: operating practices mapped against the twelve elements of the Tanker Management and Self-Assessment framework from inception.

SIRE 2.0 readiness

Every vessel under Cargo Nexus management is prepared for inspection under the OCIMF SIRE 2.0 regime. We invest in pre-vetting preparation, root-cause analysis of observations, and continuous closeout of corrective actions, protecting owner reputation and charter-readiness.

Twelve elements of TMSA

Our SMS is structured around the twelve TMSA elements:

• Management, leadership and accountability
• Recruitment and management of shore-based personnel
• Recruitment and management of vessel personnel
• Reliability and maintenance standards
• Navigational safety
• Cargo, ballast and mooring operations
• Management of change
• Incident investigation and analysis
• Safety management
• Environmental management
• Emergency preparedness and contingency planning
• Measurement, analysis and improvement

Reporting and transparency

Owners receive structured monthly reports covering KPIs across safety, technical, crewing, environmental and operational performance, with direct access to the underlying data and to senior management at any time.
