Tanker Management and Self Assessment (or TMSA) is the operator’s framework for assessing and improving its management systems. TMSA is an operator’s self-assessment of its management systems against KPIs and stages of performance. TMSA assesses the company’s management framework.
Mariner Skills’ Deepsea Training Courses provide a broad TMSA-supporting training base. Our Deepsea courses address both shore-side management functions and shipboard competence, as shown below:
- Management systems and shore-side oversight: Courses such as Role of the Ship Manager, Quality Assurance Onboard, HSSE Management, Internal Audits, Audits and SIRE, and Maritime Accidents and Incidents Investigation support TMSA functions involving leadership, oversight, audits, incident learning, and personnel management.
- Crew competence and safe operations: Navigation, watchkeeping, COLREG, ship handling, communication, fatigue, leadership, safety culture, risk assessment, and emergency-drill courses support crew competence, navigational safety, safety management, and preparedness.
- Reliability, maintenance, and environmental performance: The engineering courses cover machinery, electrical systems, condition monitoring, maintenance, corrosion, pollution-prevention equipment, emissions, and energy efficiency.
- Cargo, mooring, security, and specialist operations: Oil, chemical, and gas tanker courses cover cargo systems and operations, tank cleaning, bunkering, ballast, ship/shore interface, and cargo emergencies. Security and cyber courses support maritime-security training.
It is important to understand that TMSA evidence also depends on procedures, implementation, records, monitoring, and improvement.
