Maritime AI Audit Readiness System

A complete, deployment-ready system for managing AI use within your maritime SMS — and demonstrating governance at audit.

The Maritime AI Audit Preparation Toolkit tells you what you need. This system gives you the full infrastructure to build it — policies, registers, verification frameworks, and audit evidence templates, integrated into a governed system you can deploy across your operation.

What's Inside

• AI Governance Policy — full policy document for SMS integration, covering acceptable use, prohibited applications, verification requirements, and crew competency obligations
• AI Use Register and Log Templates — editable registers for documenting AI tools, use cases, output verification, and responsible persons
• Verification Protocol — step-by-step process for checking AI output before it enters SMS documentation, regulatory submissions, or audit records
• Incident and Near-Miss Procedure for AI Errors — how to identify, report, and correct AI-generated content used in error
• Audit Evidence Pack — document templates and completion guidance for evidencing AI governance during ISM, class, or flag state audits
• SMS Integration Guide — how to reference and embed these controls within your existing SMS without a full revision

Who This Is For

DPAs, QHSE Managers, and compliance teams building a defensible AI governance framework within an ISM-certified SMS.

Disclaimer: AI governance requirements in maritime are evolving. This system provides a framework based on current ISM Code obligations and industry practice. Verify specific requirements with your flag administration and classification society. Meriden Compliance accepts no liability for audit outcomes or regulatory findings.
