    Hi to all, One of my client have asked me to prepare for him a mini ism. I found a lot on the internet and i also found some good guidance on the internet. That said i have some experience on the ism for any yacht above 500 gt i was looking if someone could share with me a link where i can find a mini ism manual that i can readapt for the yacht i'm looking at.

    Can anybody help me?

    Thanks

    Salvatore

    The only problem with the template approach is the document becomes nothing more than a piece of paper that fulfills a regulatory requirement. It doesn't do what ISM and even "Mini-SIM" are intended to do and that is to develop a boat and crew specific set of procedures and guidelines that are relevant to real life operations.

    Agreed. I really should have used the term guideline, rather than template. Regardless, the template I referred to was hugely valuable in helping me to develop a specific working system for our vessel.

    Good deal, that is the way to look at it. It really should be a working document and useful for training and familiarization as well.

    I have written several for our smaller boats and always try to provide enough material so that a captain or mate can use it to develop a system that works within their culture.

    Thanks all for the help so far.

    I fully agree that any document must be a guideline only.

    That said I belive that the ISM manual should be tailor made for the company and the procedures and forms contained in it must be tailored for the single yacht. I try to keep my yacht in fleet devided by size and type when issuing circular letter, safety bulletin or any forms I can not send on board of a Perini a procedures for two engin motor vessel.

    Thanks again for the collaboration so far I hope to receive more.

    thanks
