Yacht Audits

A yacht audit comprehensively evaluates a yacht's compliance with industry standards, regulations, and best practices. The audit is typically conducted by an independent auditor knowledgeable in yacht construction, operation, and regulatory compliance.

 

Yacht audits are often required for compliance with regulations, such as the International Safety Management Code (ISM Code), or to ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices. The audit may include evaluating the yacht's safety management system, documentation, operational procedures, maintenance and repair procedures, and crew training.

 

During a yacht audit, the auditor will review documentation and interview the crew and management to understand the yacht's operations and compliance with regulations and standards. The auditor may also conduct visual inspections and tests of various systems and components to verify compliance and identify deficiencies.

 

After the audit, the auditor will provide a detailed report outlining any deficiencies found and recommendations for corrective actions. The owner or operator can use the report to address weaknesses and ensure compliance with regulations and industry standards.

 

We aim to provide our clients with the information they need to make informed decisions about their yacht and ensure their vessel is seaworthy, safe, and compliant with all applicable regulations.

 

At VALENCIA Marine Services SLU, our team of qualified and experienced auditors is dedicated to providing the highest quality service to our clients. We use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to conduct thorough and accurate surveys. We provide detailed reports of our observations and non-conformities, including corrective actions for necessary repairs or maintenance.

ISM Code Compliance 

At VALENCIA Marine Services SLU, we offer ISM Code audits for yachts of all sizes. Our experienced surveyors are fully trained and accredited to conduct audits by the International Safety Management (ISM) Code and other relevant regulations and requirements.

 

The ISM Code is a set of guidelines established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to ensure the safety and security of ships and their crews. This code applies to all commercial yachts over 500 gross tons and requires regular audits to ensure compliance.

 

Our surveyors will work closely with you to review your yacht's safety management system (SMS) and identify any potential gaps or areas for improvement. We will thoroughly audit your yacht's procedures, policies, and documentation to ensure that your SMS fully complies with the ISM Code and other relevant regulations.

 

Our goal is to help you ensure the safety and security of your yacht and its crew while also meeting the regulatory requirements for commercial yachts. We understand the importance of compliance with the ISM Code and are committed to providing you with high-quality and reliable service.
