Compliance Services
At Protam Yacht, our Compliance and Safety Management Services ensure your vessel meets all legal, safety, and environmental requirements, enabling you to enjoy your yachting experience without worry. Here’s a detailed look at what our services entail and how our expertise can safeguard your investment.
What are Compliance Services?
While the wider industry still uses the term “compliance,” we refer to our in-house department as Safety Management to emphasise our commitment to providing exceptional service, going above and beyond the industry standard.
Yacht compliance is all about ensuring your vessel meets the highest standards of safety and security. This involves strict adherence to key regulations such as the International Safety Management (ISM) Code and the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code. These regulations are not just guidelines; for yachts over 500 gross tons, they are mandatory. However, we believe that safety and security are integral to our culture both on board and ashore, so we recommend that yachts under 500 gross tons also implement a Safety Management System (SMS) to ensure the crew operates at the highest standard.
Why Are Compliance Services Important?
Legal Requirements
Superyachts must comply with a myriad of laws from various jurisdictions to avoid penalties, fines, and detentions.
Safety and Security
Compliance ensures the safety of everyone on board, reducing the risk of accidents and incidents.
Environmental Protection
Adhering to environmental regulations helps preserve the marine environment, ensuring sustainable yachting.
Insurance
Many insurance policies require proof of compliance with relevant regulations.
Reputation
Maintaining a compliant vessel enhances the yacht's market value and Owner's reputation.
