Tanker Management and Self Assessment

An internationally standardised system, known as Tanker Management and Self Assessment (TMSA) has been operational within the tanker industry for a number of years. This system allows shipowners to judge their own management standards. More and more clients demand that tanker companies use this system. The KVNR has been using TMSA for an equivalent system, known as Vessel Management and Self Assessment, to be used by the entire shipping industry to achieve a reduction in the frequency of inspections.
