Tanker management and self assessment (TMSA)


The oil companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF), through its best practice guide Tanker Management and Self Assessment (TMSA), has challenged tanker owners and operators to evaluate their approach to the ISM Code, to improve their management systems and to demonstrate a strong commitment to safety and environmental excellence.

Lloyd’s Register can help owners and operators understand how they can meet the challenges of TMSA.

Continuous improvement and self assessment using the TMSA best practice guide
The TMSA guide provides a standard framework to assess a ship operator’s management systems.

These cover:
• management, leadership and accountability
• recruitment and management of shore-based personnel
• recruitment and management of ships’ personnel
• reliability and maintenance standards
• navigational safety
• cargo ballasting and mooring operations
• management of change
• incident investigation and analysis
• safety management
• environmental management
• emergency preparedness and contingency planning
• measurement, analysis and improvement.
