How To Improve ISM Compliance
ISM software for drills, incidents, SMS, and corrective actions. Improve ISM compliance with audit-ready fleet safety workflows.
The industry problem
ISM audits expose gaps when drills are undocumented, incidents lack follow-up, or SMS versions onboard do not match the office master copy.
The traditional approach
Safety management on spreadsheets and email with separate tools for incidents, drills, and document control — none connected to fleet oversight.
How WaterTight helps
WaterTight’s safety stack is built around DOC/SMS discipline, not a generic “incident form”:
- Versioned SMS library with crew acknowledgments so onboard copies match the office master
- Drill schedules, records, and overdue tracking for management review
- Incident reporting through DPA review with PDF export
- Fleet safety inbox for cross-vessel review
- Checklists, PTW, and corrective actions that can feed PMS defects
DPAs and HSQE managers see overdue drills and open cases without chasing masters for updates.
