Overview
The Offshore Vessel Management and Self Assessment (OVMSA) programme is a tool to help companies operating offshore vessels to assess, measure and improve their management systems.
These systems, outlined in this new and updated publication, encompasses all company activities, including technical, operational, personnel and Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE), both on board and ashore.
