PRE-TMSA Audit

TMSA: Tanker Management and Self-Assessment.

TMSA guide is a tool created by OCIMF to help Tanker operators to assess and improve their SMS and is intended to encourage self–‐regulation and to promote continuous improvement.

TMSA brought along a new culture in the industry and achieved its goal since now almost all Companies’ management systems are following the most advanced industry standards.

Being a standard imposed by the Oil Majors, TMSA implementation is mandatory. In fact, it is a less flexible system than the one based on the ISM requirements, because ISM relies on international rules which may be rightfully challenged, whilst the TMSA compliance relates to auditors’ approach and instant behaviour, which may well be arbitrary and non–‐negotiable.

The Bluewave provides comprehensive guidelines on the TMSA preparation for any oil majors.
