14. Maintenance
The company has a programme to inspect and maintain plant and assets to prevent injury to people, damage to the environment and achieve effective performance.
The DryBMS has been created with input from dry bulk ship managers and industry experts.
At its most basic it requires companies to meet existing legal requirements (Basic Level). The next three levels (Intermediate Level, Advanced Level and Excellence Level) allow companies to use best practice to raise their standards.
The DryBMS sets out 30 areas of management practice within four sections: Performance, People, Plant and Processes. Companies that improve in these four sections will deliver more safe, compliant and reliable operations, gaining a sustainable advantage over their competitors.
