Global Tangent Maritime

Marine compliance systems built for real operations.

Practical MSMSR readiness, safety management system setup, vessel documentation control, Helm CONNECT administration and monthly compliance support for vessel operators.

Regulatory context

Transport Canada states that the Marine Safety Management System Regulations came into force on July 3, 2024 and expanded SMS requirements so most Canadian commercial vessels require safety management systems. Transport Canada also notes that starting July 3, 2026, specified additional vessel types must develop and implement a documented SMS and obtain a certificate.
