ITC – Tonnage Measurements
The volume of all the vessel’s enclosed spaces. A capacity-derived index used to rank a ship Not a weight!! Not to be confused with “Tonnes” or “Tons” Derives from the taxation paid on “Tuns” or casks of wine

Classification Society
Commercial Yachts –– Voluntary A classification society establishes and maintains technical standards for the construction and operation of ship and offshore structures.
Classification Society
Class validate that the construction of a vessel is in accordance with relevant standards and carry out regular surveys in service to ensure continuing compliance. More than 50 organizations offering marine classification, 12 of which are members of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS).

LOADLINE
Commercial Yachts – both under and over 500 GT
Load line certificate certifies that vessel complies with the load line convention. Load line convention basically limits the ships on the minimum freeboard it needs to maintain. The minimum freeboard required by the load line convention is calculated by taking into account many factors including reserve buoyancy of the ship.
ISM
Commercial Yachts - 500 GT and over International standard for the safe operation of ships and for pollution prevention. The ISM Code requires that safeguards be established against the safety and pollution risks involved in shipboard operations, while giving the flexibility to develop and tailor a safety system to an
complying with regulatory requirements. Responsibility for this is placed firmly on the companies charged with the ship’s management.
ISM
When reviewing the cause of damage or the incident events, reviewing the relative ISM procedure can assist with why the accident occurred in the first place. Was the crew properly drilled? Was the SMS adequate?
MARPOL
All vessels Short for Maritime Pollution
Developed by the IMO in an effort to minimise pollution of the oceans and seas, including dumping, oil and air pollution.
MARPOL
During a claim, having access to the
in the investigations of a pollution case. Did the vessel have an IOPP certificate? Was the SOPEP followed?
SOPEP - Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan IOPP - International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate
Large Yacht Code
The Code sets standards of safety and pollution prevention, which are appropriate to the size and operation of the vessel. For vessels of this size, standards are normally set by the relevant international conventions. This Code provides equivalent standards, as permitted by these conventions, where it is not reasonable or practical to comply with the prescriptive requirements of the international convention.
