ISM, ISPS & MLC Internal Audit Services
Mescomar carries out independent ISM, ISPS and MLC internal audits for shipowners and managers, on board and ashore. Audits are led by a Bureau Veritas (BV) certified ISM, ISPS and MLC Internal Auditor who is DPA/CSO qualified — so your Safety Management System is checked by someone who has also run it in practice. We work in Tuzla, Istanbul and Yalova and worldwide.

Why internal audits matter
A well-run internal audit does more than tick a box. It finds non-conformities before an external auditor, a vetting inspector or Port State Control does — protecting the vessel from detentions, delays and reputational damage, and keeping your Safety Management System genuinely effective rather than just documented.
A certified, independent auditor
Mescomar’s auditor holds a Bureau Veritas ISM / ISPS / MLC Internal Auditor certification and DPA/CSO qualification, has conducted independent audits and RightShip inspections, and has personally completed dozens of special and intermediate surveys plus owner-side supervision for six vessels (four tankers and two bulk carriers). That blend of audit competence and hands-on technical experience is rare — and exactly what owners need when compliance has to hold up at sea.
