Dry Bulk Centre of Excellence launches DryBMS platform
The Dry Bulk Centre of Excellence (DBCE) has launched the Dry Bulk Management Standard (DryBMS) platform to improve safety management.
Developed over four years in collaboration with shipowners, managers, risk management experts, and supply chain stakeholders, DryBMS is an online self-assessment tool for shipowners and stakeholders to evaluate safety management processes and practices across 30 subject areas within four sections:
- Performance
- People
- Plant
- Process
What is DryBMS?
DryBMS is a voluntary standard that prioritizes improvement in standards in the dry bulk marine sector. This voluntary program is designed to allow ship managers to measure their Safety Management System (SMS) against agreed industry standards, with the aim of improving fleet performance and risk management. This aims ensure an operator’s policies align with industry best practice to both advance their performance and attain high standards of health, safety, security and pollution prevention.
… said DBCE in a statement, urging ship owners, managers, and other stakeholders across the dry bulk sector, to use this tool and to join them on this transformative journey to make dry bulk shipping stronger, safer, and more sustainable.
