Safety Management System

Dedicated compliance support for your fleet

A dedicated Safety & Compliance Officer monitors regulatory changes and works out how they apply to your vessels. They update your procedures, checklists, and forms so your SMS stays current without adding to your workload.

Dedicated compliance support for your fleet

From regulatory change to updated procedure

Regulatory monitoring

We track Marine Orders, AMSA guidance, and related changes that may affect domestic commercial vessel operators.

Applicability review

A plain-language view of which vessels, activities, or procedures are affected, and what needs attention next.

Procedure and document updates

The review feeds directly into updated SMS procedures, checklists, forms, and training records.

Marine Order 504 amendments, AMSA guidance, incident learnings, and internal reviews all end up affecting the same thing: the Safety Management System. Most operators don't have the time to read every update, work out which vessels it affects, and rewrite procedures before the document goes stale.

Fathom includes dedicated Safety & Compliance support to do that work alongside operators. The service tracks relevant changes, reviews them against the operation, and helps turn them into updated procedures, checklists, forms, and review notes.

Change notices and review notes

When something relevant changes, the first step is a short review: what changed, why it matters, and which parts of the operation to check.

Applicability by vessel and operation

Not every change affects every operator the same way. The review considers vessel class, operation type, crewing, equipment, and existing procedures.

SMS revisions and follow-up

Once a change is confirmed as relevant, the work moves into the documents: procedures, checklists, forms, inductions, drills, and review records.
