<![CDATA[Implementing the International Safety Management (ISM) Code is crucial for enhancing maritime safety, particularly during cargo operations. This study analyses the implementation of the ISM Code using a Risk Assessment method to achieve zero accidents during cargo operations aboard the MV Spil Hayu. It employs a qualitative descriptive case study design. Data were gathered through direct onboard observations, crew interviews, and a review of safety management documentation. The risk analysis was conducted by identifying potential hazards, assessing risk levels, and determining appropriate control measures in accordance with ISM Code requirements. The findings indicate that although the MV Spil Hayu has generally implemented ISM Code practices, several potential risks remain inadequately managed. These include poor compliance with operational procedures, inconsistent use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and ineffective onboard communication. The application of a Risk Assessment method enabled the identification of risk priorities and the development of more systematic mitigation strategies, thereby effectively reducing workplace accident risks. The study concludes that consistently integrating the ISM Code with Risk Assessment practices is instrumental in achieving zero accidents during cargo operations. Consequently, realising this goal requires enhanced supervision, targeted crew training, and regular evaluation of the safety management system.]]>
