Project Overview
ISM Code was developed to provide an international standard for the safe at sea and and for pollution prevention. Almost all ISM Code manual are required to take ISO 9000 Quality System and ISO 14000 Environmental Management System into account. The problem is that any form of procedural quality system such ISM does not necessarily improve safety for this reason a novel online course on ISM Code requirements and all relevant safety, environmental and quality standards is being proposed.
There are a number of activities such as literature review of ISM Code requirements and its latest
amendments as well as other relevant standards related to safety and environmental protection in the shipping industry. The project involves several case studies and research methodology for data collection which include interviews, surveys, and document analysis for improving the content of ISM Code and interpret its requirements and its correct implementation.
Results: What project results and other outcomes do you expect your project to have?
The main output of this project is a complete competence-based online training course on ISM Code and its implementation. There will be a novel assessment system covering self-assessment, assignments and an oral test. The course will be ECVET and ECTS compliant and will be submitted for accreditation and certification to a professional and internationally known professional body.
