Updated guide

The Oil Companies International Marine Forum, a voluntary association of 112 oil companies, has published an updated edition of its “Offshore Vessel Management and Self Assessment” programme, to reflect current legislation, expectations and emerging risks. It also includes expanded best practice guidelines and a streamlined self-assessment procedure to encourage a more unified interpretation and implementation of the guidance by offshore vessel operators. The programme, originally published in 2012, is widely used by companies operating offshore vessels worldwide to assess, measure, benchmark and improve their safety management systems against set key performance indicators.
