Dry Bulk Centre of Excellence (DBCE) is pleased to announce that Prevention at Sea has joined as a member, bringing significant expertise in maritime auditing, compliance, and risk prevention to support the continued development and adoption of the Dry Bulk Management Standard (DryBMS).
Prevention at Sea is an award-winning, ISO 9001-certified maritime risk and technology organisation recognised for delivering high-quality auditing, compliance, risk assessment, and DryBMS-related advisory services across the global shipping industry. With a strong reputation for operational excellence and technology-driven assurance solutions, the company brings substantial industry expertise and strategic value to the DBCE community, further strengthening the collective drive towards higher standards, greater transparency, and continuous improvement across the dry bulk sector.
As DryBMS evolves as a Ship Management Maturity Framework for the dry bulk industry, the quality and credibility of audit and assessment processes will be central to its impact. Ship managers, operators, charterers, and wider industry stakeholders need confidence that assessments are independent, consistent, and grounded in practical maritime experience. Prevention at Sea’s capabilities are strongly aligned with these objectives.
DBCE looks forward to working closely with Prevention at Sea — particularly in helping to establish robust and credible assessment approaches that support higher standards of safety, operational excellence, and management maturity across the global dry bulk fleet.
We warmly welcome Prevention at Sea to DBCE, and look forward to the contribution they will make to this important work.
