SMS Development & Simplification
IMO Res A.741 (18) mandates a safety management system (SMS) for companies, ensuring effective implementation of safety and environmental protection policies per ISM code guidelines. Kenter’s team is well-versed in maritime regulations and compliance, understanding the essential components of a compliant SMS. Our consultants stay updated on trends, common failures, SIRE 2.0, PSC, and FSI focus points, along with associated regulations like SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, and MLC. Simplification involves reducing complexity without compromising objectives. While SMS content covers required guidelines, it often requires user judgement for proper implementation. Over 70% of maritime accidents are due to human element failures, such as poor judgement, lack of common sense, miscommunication, and inadequate shipping knowledge.
By Simplifying SMS, our expert team at Ketner Maritime assist companies in providing below:
- Clear Guidance (Removing ambiguities in instructions)
- Simple language
- Responsibility oriented content
- Flow charts
- Smart art for clear understanding
Our Simplification reduces the number of elements on a page. Every picture along with the relevant text triggers the visual senses and contributes to the complexity of the presentation whilst the aim is to use the fewest possible ‘ingredients’ to convey the message without sacrificing high quality.

Simplified Checklist
Checklists are a very useful tool whenever guidance to the end user is necessary. Such guidance to be effective though must be performed through accurate checklists leaving no room for vagueness and deviation from the goal. Such checklists must not be lengthy and contain only the necessary information in a well-structured, consistent, and concise template.
While simplifying checklists,
We at Kenter Maritime:
- Group similar checks so that the list can be followed in a much more realistic and practical manner.
- Identify Items and respective checks.
- Define the person in charge of a group activity (upon additional project request)

SMART Checklist
The SMART Checklist, or Digital Checklist, revolutionizes the maritime industry by enhancing operational efficiency and safety. It allows for real-time data entry and monitoring, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring compliance with international regulations. This digital approach streamlines inspections and audits, providing instant feedback and actionable insights. Accessible via mobile devices, SMART Checklists facilitate seamless communication between ship and shore. Ultimately, they contribute to more effective decision-making and improved overall vessel management.

Gap Analysis
OCIMF has been working on the new SIRE 2.0 regime since 2017 and is expected to become operational in 2023. SIRE 2.0 is a risk-based questionnaire for which many of the company’s SMS still have gaps. Our Experts at Kenter Maritime, go through company SMS and verify compliance against each question of the SIRE 2.0 question library.While carrying out SIRE 2.0 gap analysis, we:
- Identify SMS reference for each question of the library if it is complying
- Advise the client of missing aspects if not complying with the new regime.
- Upon additional request, add content to SMS & make it SIRE 2.0 compliant.
We at Kenter Maritime also provide SIRE 2.0 training/ content to make sure as well as sailing staff are aware of the new inspection regime, methodology, and expectations.
