Columbia Group has selected Prevention at Sea (PaS) as its strategic compliance partner and will deploy the MORSE digital compliance platform across its entire managed fleet.
The partnership between Columbia Group and PaS will strengthen digital capabilities by linking electronic logbooks with standardised, end-to-end compliance processes. MORSE will give the company real-time visibility of reporting activity, improve data quality, and cut administrative work for crews on board.
The move will improve operational efficiency onboard and removes the burden of time-consuming administrative jobs for crew members.
PaS will also act as the auditing arm of CSM’s compliance framework and deliver its Behavioural Competency Assessment & Verification (BCAV) programme to help reinforce a strong compliance culture across the fleet.
The move reflects Columbia Group’s focus on efficiency and future-ready compliance systems.
Mark O Neil, President and CEO of Columbia Group, said: “Digitalising our compliance processes allows crews to spend less time on manual administration and more time on critical operational tasks. MORSE gives us the transparency, accuracy and audit trails we need as regulatory demands continue to rise across the industry.”

"We are proud to partner with Columbia Shipmanagement to support their vision of a digitally empowered compliance culture. By integrating our MORSE compliance platform across their fleet and acting as their compliance auditing arm, we aim to enhance operational transparency and ultimately contribute to safer and more efficient vessel operations.
This recognition comes with great responsibility, and it strengthens our commitment toward a zero-harm industry. We are excited for the journey ahead,” added Petros Achtypis, CEO of Prevention at Sea.
