Contact Information Form
This shipping notice contains information and guidance to ensure that the Cayman Islands shipping registry has current contact details to disseminate important information.
This notice is directed primarily at:
- Owners, managers or operators of Cayman Islands ships, or their agents;
Introduction
In order for the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry to keep ship owners and managers informed of current developments in maritime security and maritime safety, it is important that we maintain up to date details of contact persons within companies.
This is an ongoing process as changes are made in organizations to staff positions, telephone numbers and email addresses.
The Cayman Islands Shipping Registry is making improvements in the ways we distribute this information to our clients. As part of these improvements we are currently updating our client contact database. When complete, this database will enable us to distribute safety and security information directly to the appropriate people.
The database will be split into two sections. One will relate to maritime security and the other to general safety and regulatory issues. There is, of course, no reason why individuals can not be included in both.
Maritime Security
The maritime security list is primarily intended for Company Security Officers. However, the company may nominate additional individuals to also receive this information, provided such individuals have a genuine need to access this information. This information will not be publically available through www.cishipping.com.
The information distributed will include:
- Changes to worldwide maritime security levels for Cayman Islands ships.
- Maritime security related information distributed by the UK Government.
- Security Advisories from the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry.
Safety and Regulation
This section is primarily intended for Designated Person, as defined in Section 4 of the ISM Code. Again, companies may nominate additional persons to receive this information. Generally, this information will also be available from www.cishipping.com.
Such information will include:
- Cayman Islands Shipping Notices, as they are published.
- Information and guidance on changes to regulation which will have an impact on Cayman Islands ships.
- Recommendations and "lessons learned" from the investigation of accidents and marine casualties.
Ensuring up to date information
