Offshore Vessel Management and Self Assessment (OVMSA), 2019 Edition
The OCIMF Offshore Vessel Management and Self Assessment (OVMSA) programme is a tool to help companies operating offshore vessels assess, measure and improve their management systems. These systems encompass all company activities, including technical, operational, personnel and Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE), both on board and ashore.
By aligning their own policies and procedures with guidance detailed in this programme, companies can improve their performance and attain high standards of safety and pollution prevention. Self assessment results inform the strategy of shipboard personnel as they improve their safety management systems.
This second edition has been updated to reflect current legislation, expectations and emerging issues. It contains thirteen elements, the latest addition detailing maritime security considerations. Its update reflects feedback from companies, industry bodies and users of OVMSA.
