General Maritime Consulting
Not every challenge needs a full management system project. Sometimes you need an experienced second opinion: how a new regulation will affect your fleet, what a change of flag will involve, whether a vessel you plan to acquire will fit your Safety Management System (SMS), how to respond to a difficult audit finding or customer complaint, or whether ISO 9001 certification would help you win new contracts. Mor Ocean provides practical, independent advice drawn from decades at sea, in regulation and in investigation, as a one-off engagement or on an ongoing advisory basis.

Why choose Mor Ocean for maritime advice?
Our advice comes from people who have operated vessels, regulated them and investigated what happens when things go wrong. That combination means our answers are realistic for your operation and hold up with regulators. We tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear, and we stay with you until the issue is resolved.
Have Questions?
Straight answers to the questions we hear from our clients every day...
Yes. We scale the system to the operation. A two-vessel fishing company doesn't need the same volume of documentation as a cruise line. What matters is that your procedures fit how your vessels actually work. Our team has worked across fishing, passenger, cargo, offshore and port operations.
Yes, and for most operators it's the better approach. One integrated system means one set of procedures, one audit schedule and less duplication for crews. We design integrated systems that meet International Safety Management (ISM) Code, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 requirements without burying your people in paperwork.
A Safety Management System (SMS) is the documented way your company manages safety: policies, procedures, responsibilities, reporting, audits and continual improvement. Ships trading internationally need one under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, and many operators need one under domestic flag-state regulations or client contracts. Even when it isn't mandatory, a practical SMS lowers risk and makes inspections easier. We'll help you work out what applies to your fleet.
