Pre-Inspection
Pre-OCIMF Vetting & Pre-CDI Inspections: Ensure Your Vessel is Ready for Inspection
The Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) introduced the Ship Inspection Report Programme (SIRE) in 1993, which is widely used to assess the condition of tankers and other vessels. Under the SIRE program, vessels are evaluated against OCIMF’s Vessel Inspection Questionnaire (VIQ). For tankers and chemical ships, maintaining a good vetting record is crucial. Proper preparation can help avoid many observations that could impact the inspection results.
Why Pre-Inspection Preparation is Essential:
A pre-inspection by an external entity before an OCIMF or CDI inspection is often a highly valuable investment. By identifying and addressing potential issues ahead of time, shipowners and operators can ensure a smoother inspection process and avoid costly delays or non-compliances.
