We focus solely on safety in the ‘marine’ industry for both Commercial and Recreational Vessels
Safety Management Systems (SMS)
An SMS is a document that details your vessel, the crew and its operations.
An SMS protects you, your crew, passengers and your business both personally and financially.
The SMS will provide procedures for onboard operations and emergency response such as man overboard, fire, etc.
Every vessel, whether commercial (which is legal requirement) or recreational should have a well prepared SMS!
Training Courses
Shorlink’s training packages are unique. We conduct most training session onboard your vessel NOT IN A CLASSROOM. This provides our participants with direct hands-on training which is invaluable in ensuring all aspects of the training are understood and can be carried out in all situations safely and efficiently.
Our courses include:
- Onboard Safety Training
- Inflatable Life Raft Training
- Practical Vessel Handling
- Practical Flares & Fire Extinguisher Training
- Commercial Vessel Inductions and Onboard Training
- Bespoke Individual Training Course
Specialised Management Plans
While having a compliant Safety Management System in place is great, keeping it compliant is something else! Dealing with follow-up requirements, Annual Reviews and more are things that many people just don’t understand.
That’s where Shorlink comes in!
We can manage just your Safety Management System and/or we can include options such as training.
