GW Marine

Company Management Systems

GW Marine Consultants will develop a Management system suited to the size of your business and specific to the risk profile of your operations. Each system is constructed with the ability to grow in complexity and cover multiple disciplines such as OHS, Environment, Quality, Security and Finance to cover just a few. Each management system is fully customised to the client’s requirements and can be developed from existing written and/or verbal processes or designed from the ground up.

Standards and Regulations

All Management Systems are developed or adapted  from existing data to comply with industry standards and regulations based on the clients operational scope of work. Systems GW Marine Consultants currently have under development are being constructed to the ISM Code and various ISO standards.

Document Maintenance and Specific Situation Document Development

All Management Systems are designed to be live and interactive with processes being constantly updated, tweaked and new procedures and guidelines being introduced. During this process our clients engage GW Marine Consultants to write new documents or update existing data.  Should  the client require specialised support for technical procedures or the development of project specific documents  GW Marine Consultants have the skilled professionals available.

Management System Implementation and Training

Upon completion and client approval of the new or redeveloped Management System GW Marine Consultants hands over the system for implementation. However some clients prefer to engage GW Marine Consultants to assist with the complete implementation and training of their new Management System across their entire organisation.

Company Management System Audits

Given the ever changing nature in the regulatory environment and the severe penalties that can be incurred for non-compliance, GW Marine Consultants are increasingly being engaged to perform Safety Management System audits. These vital audits review the entire Safety Management System from policy compliance through to the conformity with operational procedures. It can then be determined if the system is complete and functioning as detailed in the company’s policy manual and associated documents. Any incomplete, non-functional or out of date areas are detailed in the audit report and recommendations made to bring the system into compliance.

Site-specific/Operational Auditing

This is a detailed review of the site’s operating systems and equipment and how efficiently these systems are being implemented and utilized. The audit will determine areas which may need improvement or overhaul. These audits can be equipment or systems based or a combination of both. Sites can be vessels, facilities, or designated crew locations.

Third-party Auditing

Given the size and complexity of many projects, these audits are commissioned to determine if the sub-contractor is meeting the operators HSE expectations. The audit reviews the sub-contractors systems to identify any deficiencies from our client’s HSE requirements or the contract in place. Any findings are recorded and a close-out program put into place prior to commencement of operational activities.

Quality Audits

Quality is a major factor for ensuring the company is working to the highest possible standard. Quality audits are generally undertaken at the client’s instigation to ensure that their systems and personnel are operating as efficiently as possible and to a designated standard. This gives our clients senior management peace of mind that the systems are working and highlights areas for improvement.

Audit Tracking Services

GW Marine Consultants can offer a comprehensive audit tracking/close-out service for clients upon request.

Forensic HSE Auditing

Many companies operational functionality can sometimes be at risk due to increased complexity of their Safety Management Systems, leading to potential compliance issues or an inability to meet project pre-qualification requirements. GW Marine Consultants are experts in reviewing aspects of the management system in fine detail and recommending the most effective course of action to bring your system back to prime condition.

Where a system failure has been identified during an incident investigation, GW Marine Consultants can use forensic HSE auditing techniques to pinpoint the area of concern and rectify using the corrective actions process.

Vessel Audits – IMCA (CMID) and OVID (OCIMF)

GW Marine Consultants specialize and are fully accredited to perform vessel audits to both IMCA and OVID specifications. These audits are recognized globally as the industry standard and are performed to determine HSE system adequacy and ‘fit for purpose’ status of vessels working in the offshore oil & gas sector. GW Marine Consultants have certified vessel inspectors in most regions of the globe which reduces travel time to the vessel under audit.

On/Off Hire Vessel Audits

These inspections will determine the status of the vessel prior to and/or after the completion of contracts. They detail the physical condition of the vessel and all consumables onboard. This allows the company to make accurate assessments of the financial implications of the ‘On or Off Hire’ status.
