Regulatory Compliance Services

Today, as a result of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and the worldwide Port State Control initiative, tough new regulations have been enacted to help prevent environmental disasters and ensure the safety and security of our ports. While this is good news for the public at large, it can spell disaster for unsuspecting ship owners, operators, and managers who now face the possibility of unlimited financial liability for pollution damages and delays or detentions of their vessels in port.

That's where Compliance Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CMI, can help. Offering a turnkey solution to complicated regulations, CSI's "Total Compliance Program" has proven over time to be successful in satisfying stringent U.S. Coast Guard, international, and individual U.S. state regulations for member ships.
