Core Credential

Multi-society DOC certification — the compliance foundation of ship management

The Document of Compliance (DOC) is issued under SOLAS Chapter IX and the ISM Code to ship management companies whose safety management systems have passed audit. It is the core compliance basis on which Ocean Grow delivers ISM consultancy and full ship management services to clients.

Holding a valid DOC means Ocean Grow's safety management system is recognised by the competent authority, covering the safe operation, pollution prevention and emergency response requirements of client vessels, and is subject to annual verification and five-yearly renewal.
