A good ranking in the OCIMF/SIRE Database is an essential tool for independent owners of tanker vessels in order to ensure employment for their vessels.
A Pre-vetting Inspection can help minimizing or even eliminating the risk of negative observations during an SIRE Vetting, thus maintaining a low observation score in the database.
During a Pre-vetting Inspection, we visit the vessel and perform an in-depth inspection covering all areas on board in relation to the SIRE Vetting program with a special focus on the Vessel Inspection Questionnaire (VIQ) in order to prepare the vessel for an upcoming vetting.
The overall objective is to identify any deficiencies which, according to the inspector’s experience, are likely to cause a negative response during a SIRE Vetting.
During the inspection, the crew responsible for the various departments onboard are given on the spot guidance in order to prepare them best possible for a vetting.
The Owner is provided with a detailed report with recommendations not later than 48 hours after completion of the Pre-vetting Inspection. The Master is provided with a summary and guidance prior to the inspector leaving the vessel. Upon request we can also assist with Owner’s response following a SIRE Vetting with negative observations.
Every picture tells a story.
The best things come in small packages.
