AVOID Ineffective and Counter-Productive Compliance Practice
Many companies claim to have "strong" or "strict" environmental compliance policies, but these often lack the structure, tools, and onboard culture needed for effective enforcement. Such rigid policies are difficult to adapt to changing circumstances, fostering a culture of fear rather than compliance. Similarly, routine superintendent visits and ISM audits, constrained by limited in-port time and reliance on standard checklists, fail to detect root causes of violations or address training and cultural shortcomings. This can signal ineffective or complicit oversight to enforcement personnel, leaving companies vulnerable to penalties. Additionally, "zero tolerance" policies often discourage internal reporting of violations, driving employees to whistle-blow directly to authorities, further undermining compliance efforts.
