Summary/Abstract: Shipping industry is governed by a multitude of statutory regulations that support ship safety and pollution prevention efforts at both national and international level. However the studies and experiences show that without “embedding the safety, quality and maritime environmental protection culture” with in the company, external audits can have a limited effect on the ship’s safety and prevention of pollution. Tanker Management and Self Assessment (TMSA) is a guideline to measure and assess tanker operators’ management system developed by Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF). This study focuses the objective and scope of the TMSA by defining its objectives and benefits while arguing its impacts on the overall performance of tanker operator companies.
