I suggest that you subscribe to the Canadian Coast Guard's "Marine-L"
discussion forum. Professional seafarers from all over the world participate
in the various discussions.

For the past few years, ISM has been a hot topic; some old timers absolutely
despise ISM, including and especially a professional master mariner from
Belgium who is a regular contributor to the forum. He contends that it just
means more paperwork and not a bit of added safety. Some of his comments are
quite caustic though humorous.

I can't exactly remember the mechanics of how to subscribe to the list but I
believe that it goes something like this:

e-mail the following address:

LISTSERVER@CGC.NS.CA

In the body of the mail, type in "Subscribe" followed by your name.

Failing this, go into the Canadian Coast Guard website and search for
instructions on how to subscribe. I am still on the list but have been for
years so I am embarrassed to say that I cannot remember how I subscribed!

Hope this helps.

Robert Eno
