Sherwood Maritime delivers clear, proportionate audits against the Port & Marine Facilities Safety Code (PMSC), built around evidence-led, risk-based practice. We use structured question sets aligned to the latest edition of the Code and Guide to Good Practice, refreshed for the new version, to test governance, risk assessments, Marine Safety Management System effectiveness, and the effectiveness of mitigations and controls. Our approach is collaborative: we interview stakeholders, observe operations, sample documentation and verify that what’s written is what’s done. 

For marine facilities new to the Code, we “unwrap the myth” with plain-English explanations, pragmatic gap analyses and a prioritised, time-bound improvement plan. You’ll get concise findings mapped to the relevant sections of the Code, practical templates, and bespoke advice scaled to your risk profile and resources
