Cursorio: “Independent ship management firm based in Le Cannet, French Riviera, with a distinct UAE company in Dubai (CURSORIO INTERMARINE MANAGEMENT SERVICES - FZCO), following each vessel across its cruising grounds. Specialising in private superyachts of 50 metres and above and yachts held via family office.”
My yacht is private. Am I really concerned by ISM and ISPS?
“More often than one would think. The ISM Code applies, in principle, to commercial vessels, but several superyacht flags (Cayman Islands, Marshall Islands, Isle of Man, Malta) extend its application to private yachts above 500 GT — and sometimes from 400 GT depending on the jurisdiction.”
View in the company profileWhat is the difference between a pre-audit and an official audit?
“The official audit is conducted by an accredited auditor of the flag or a classification society (Lloyd's Register, DNV, Bureau Veritas, RINA), with the authority to issue, renew or suspend the Safety Management Certificate (SMC) and the International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC).”

“The typical timeline is about six weeks: one week of remote documentary review, two to three days on board for operational verification, two weeks to draft the report and corrective plan, then four to six weeks supporting the closure of non-conformities.”
