REVIEW DRAFT NO. 5A (2/24/98)

This document is not an ASTM Standard. It is under consideration within an ASTM technical committee but has not received all approvals required to become an ASTM standard. It shall not be reproduced or circulated or quoted, in whole or in part, outside of ASTM committee activities, except with the approval of the Chairman of the Committee having jurisdiction and the President of the Society.

The technology relating to automated or computerized information or control systems is not widely covered by open standards; consequently, reference may be made throughout this standard to proprietary or de jure standards or protocols. It is not the intent of the standard to endorse, recommend or require the use of any such standards or protocols; nor should the omission of any such standards be interpreted as a bar to acceptance. While recognizing that the discipline is changing rapidly, the text concentrates on technology that is representative of current practice.

STANDARD GUIDE FOR A SHIP SAFETY RECORD

ASTM Designation: F25.05.06.00x

0.1SCOPE

This Standard provides a uniform format and definition of ship safety data to be used by various maritime organizations, including ship owners/operators and regulatory bodies such as port state and flag state organizations. The Standard Guide for a Ship Safety Record is designed to provide an industry accepted common method of identifying and subsequently communicating the critical safety information needed for maritime operations. It is intended to serve as a foundation upon which next-generation regulatory reporting and compliance systems are built, allowing the utilization of technology to provide more timely and accurate communication of key safety data, resulting in operating efficiencies for ship owners/operators and more effective monitoring of compliance by regulatory bodies.

0.4SIGNIFICANCE AND USE

The Ship Safety Record is an in electronic database of information unique to a specific vessel related to the safety of the vessel, it’s crew and the environment. The data is grouped and organized under the following key categories: Vessel Particulars; Vessel Status; Crew Requirements; Crew Status;Voyage Specific Data; Record of Inspection; Record of Incidents; and Corrrective Actions.

The Ship Safety Record is created and maintained in each instance for the primary benefit of the Operator who is required through the implementation of the ISM Code to be cognizant of such information. It is expected that operators will elect to make portions of their Ship Safety Record database available to other interested parties such as flag states, class societies and port states.

The Ship Safety Record should provide for the implementation of several levels of security as may be required by the vessel owner or operator.

The data that becomes part of the Ship Safety Record can be thought of in a number of subsets:

Data that is not subject to change. This would include particulars of the vessel, etc

Data that will be up-dated periodically either manually or as a result of updates to other computer systems or applications. This would include, as an example: cargo information; ballast conditions; and the names/identification of crew members. This would also include: information relative to internal inspections; maintenance records; internal audits; safety audits; etc.

Data that would be manually updated periodically only but by a third party remote to the vessel. This would include: the status of classification inspections; flag state and port state inspections; and the re-issuance of certificates.
