RMS has conducted comprehensive and effective environmental compliance audits worldwide. Our years of operational and regulatory enforcement provides our environmental teams with a unique perspective that is key in identifying vulnerabilities onboard your vessels as well as gaps in policies and procedures. We can ensure positive and productive changes to your environmental culture, thereby reducing the risk of possible future violations. 

Environmental Compliance: Need an Environmental Court Appointed Monitor - CAM or Third-Party Auditor - TPA? RMS has conducted dozens of third-party audits as part of a DOJ-mandated Environmental Compliance Program and even more environmental inspections for the USCG and Class.  We are standing by to function as your Court Appointed Monitor or Third-Party auditors.

Vulnerability Assessments: With today’s extremely complex environmental regulations, keeping a ship and crew in compliance is an ever-growing challenge.  This is highlighted by the frequency of companies pleading guilty to improper discharges, poor or fraudulent record-keeping, and failures of the crew to act in accordance with company policy and procedures. RMS will perform an Environmental Assessment that will give you a detailed insight into the status of your ship(s) and identify your risks.

Policy & Procedure Audits: Drawing upon our years of experience conducting environmental audits, we can provide thorough reviews of company policies and procedures dealing with environmental compliance to identify weaknesses or gaps, verify the accuracy of your procedures, strengthen your environmental awareness culture, and train your crew.

Policies and Procedure Development: Feeling exposed?  A robust environmental program with comprehensive policies and procedures will help ensure that you are protected and in compliance.

RMS Can Help:  We have carried out dozens of third-party audits during one of the largest maritime environmental criminal cases in the US.  As lead inspectors, we completed numerous inspections for USCG MARPOL Tiger Teams.  As former Class surveyors, we have a deep understanding of the equipment, tanks, and approvals required to stay ahead of the regulations and out of costly trouble.
