The TMSA is a framework developed by the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) that enables tanker operators to assess, measure, and improve their management systems. It promotes continuous improvement in ship safety, environmental protection, and quality management. The program comprises 13 key elements and is widely used across the oil and gas shipping industry.
A TMSA audit is critical because it evaluates an operator’s safety and management systems against international best practices. Many oil majors and charterers require TMSA participation as a prerequisite for business. It reflects the company’s commitment to safety, quality, and compliance, increasing its credibility and commercial opportunities.
TMSA audits are not mandated by international law or classification societies. However, they are strongly recommended and often required by oil majors and charterers during their vetting processes. Participation is voluntary, but essential for operators wanting to engage in contracts with high-profile clients.
The TMSA elements include:
Management Leadership and Accountability
Recruitment and Management of Shore-Based Personnel
Recruitment and Management of Vessel Personnel
Reliability and Maintenance of Hardware
Navigational Safety
Cargo, Ballast, and Mooring Operations
Incident Investigation and Analysis
Safety Management
Environmental Management
Emergency Preparedness
Measurement, Analysis and Improvement
Maritime Security
Management of Change
TMSA is a continuous improvement program, and companies are encouraged to self-assess annually. Formal external TMSA audits are commonly done every 12 months or prior to a SIRE inspection or business engagement with new clients.
TMSA audits should be conducted by experienced professionals with expertise in ship operations, safety management, and regulatory compliance. Aveeda Marine’s team, consisting of Master Mariners and Chief Engineers, provides unbiased third-party audits and guidance.
