Outsource your SMS

We provide a complimentary review of your current Safety Management System (SMS) to ensure it complies with current Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), Work Health and Safety (WHS) and National Standard for Commercial Vessel (NSCV) requirements.

Here at Shorlink, the SMS manuals we develop are ‘specific’ to your vessel and operations to ensure compliance with Marine Order 504, the NSCV and WHS. Our development includes onboard assessment, hazard identification, development of operational and emergency procedures and all forms required for your vessel. Additionally, we also offer onboard inductions, emergency response training, distress flare and fire extinguisher courses.

Initial SMS Assessment

We offer a complimentary evaluation and report of your current SMS to guarantee its complete compliance with all applicable regulatory standards. This report is provided without any obligations and will be a useful tool in assisting you to comprehend the essential regulatory requirements.

SMS Development

If you seek confirmation that your SMS meets compliance standards, we are pleased to offer a development quotation for your consideration.

Our recently developed SMS will adhere to Marine Order 504, Work Health and Safety regulations, and the NSCV at the time of its creation. Should there be any modifications thereafter, or if your Annual Review is approaching, we will inform you accordingly, enabling you to make an informed choice.

SMS Management

Perfect for individuals managing a single vessel as well as fleet owners seeking the assurance that their Safety Management System (SMS) remains compliant at all times.

Shorlink keeps track of any modifications made by regulatory authorities and adjusts your SMS as necessary. Additionally, we perform annual assessments to guarantee adherence to AMSA, WHS and NSCV standards.

We also examine your vessel's logbook, training documentation, and maintenance records to confirm compliance.

SMS Management & Training

Alongside the SMS Management Plan, Shorlink offers onboard vessel inductions and emergency response training for all crew members.

This training ensures that Owners and Operators meet the latest Government regulations, while our training sessions and the accompanying documentation serve as crucial evidence in the event of an incident.
