Testimonials
Maritime professionals rely on SERTICA’s vessel safety management system to simplify compliance, improve safety, and gain control of daily HSQE operations across their fleets.
“SERTICA helps us implement a new safety culture and we received no remarks at our latest DOC because now we work with very precise data. The auditors really love the response log, because we cannot change or delete information.”
Steven Hale
Ship Manager, Condor Ferries
“SERTICA Safety Management System for ships supports all our working processes, both safety and in general. By using modules such as Inspection, Reporting, Activities and Events, we support the goals set out in our Safety Mindset booklet.”

Head of Marine QA
“We save a lot of time by reducing the volume of emails. Instead of having emails scattered all over, the response log makes it possible to add notes to concrete cases. This way we have all information in SERTICA, which simplifies the process.”

HSQE Superintendent
“My best advice to other companies planning to use the Forms module in SERTICA is to limit the number of forms to a minimum and build forms directly in SERTICA rather than using Excel or Word.”

FAQ
Effective document control is essential for shipping companies to comply with international safety standards, particularly under the ISM Code. It involves managing, updating, and distributing safety-related documents such as procedures, checklists, and reports in a structured and traceable way.
Poor document control can lead to outdated procedures, audit findings, or even safety incidents. A reliable system must ensure that all crew and office personnel have access to the latest approved versions of critical documents, with a clear history of changes and accountability.
SERTICA ensures robust document control within the SMS – Safety Management System by providing centralized access to all safety-related documents and tasks. Users can revise documents through a built-in approval workflow, ensuring only authorized and reviewed content goes live.
Key features of document control in SERTICA include:
Unlike paper-based systems, SERTICA guarantees transparency, reduces human error, and keeps your entire team aligned with the latest safety protocols.
In the maritime industry, risk management software is a digital tool used to systematically identify, assess, and reduce safety-related risks onboard ships and across entire fleets. It helps ensure compliance with safety standards and supports a proactive safety culture by documenting hazards, tracking incidents, and implementing corrective actions. An effective system not only minimizes risk but also improves decision-making, operational efficiency, and audit readiness.
SERTICA acts as a comprehensive risk management software by enabling shipping companies to proactively control safety risks across all operations—onboard and ashore.
Key features of SERTICA’s risk management capabilities include:
SERTICA empowers maritime operators to move from reactive to proactive safety management, reducing accidents, improving safety culture, and protecting both people and assets.
In maritime operations, managing Safety Management Certificates is a critical part of ISM Code compliance. These certificates must be kept up to date, properly documented, and readily accessible for audits or inspections. Manual tracking methods are time-consuming and prone to error, which can result in compliance issues, delays, or even detentions. A digital solution ensures accuracy, accountability, and efficiency across the fleet.
SERTICA tracks Safety Management Certificates by centralizing all certificate data within its integrated Safety Management System. It streamlines the entire proces, from uploading and renewal planning to verification and notification.
Key features of SERTICA’s certificate management include:
By reducing manual workload and ensuring full traceability, SERTICA strengthens your compliance processes and makes certificate management more efficient across your fleet.
Compliance with the ISM Code and international maritime regulations is essential for safe and efficient fleet operations. To stay compliant, shipping companies must document, monitor, and continuously improve their Health, Safety, Quality, and Environmental (HSQE) practices. Manual methods often fall short in traceability, consistency, and audit readiness—making digital systems critical for modern compliance strategies.
SERTICA HSQE is specifically developed to support compliance with the ISM Code and a wide range of maritime regulations, including IMO, SOLAS, MARPOL, and other industry standards. It enables companies to centralize safety and environmental management, ensuring structured control and transparency across the fleet.
Key features that support regulatory compliance with SERTICA HSQE include:
Tanker Management and Self Assessment (TMSA) is a best-practice framework used by tanker operators to measure and improve their safety and environmental performance. To comply with TMSA, companies must document their processes, track performance indicators, and demonstrate continuous improvement across multiple elements—including risk management, incident reporting, and operational procedures.
SERTICA HSQE helps tanker operators meet TMSA requirements by digitalizing these safety, quality, and environmental processes in a single, integrated platform. It offers structured tools aligned with TMSA elements for:
SERTICA enables continuous improvement, traceability, and best practice documentation to support TMSA submissions and vetting inspections. The built-in TMSA tool simplifies annual reviews and self-assessments, helping operators manage risks, enhance compliance, and improve both operational performance and TMSA scores.
