Too many inspections
WHY CONCERNED ?
Too many inspections

The Inspection Problem
ALL SHIPS
• Flag State• Port State• Classification Society• ISM• P&I
ADDITIONALLY FOR TANKERS
• Extra Flag State (CAS)• Extra PSC (Targeting)• Extra P&I• OCIMF-SIRE• CDI• Terminal Vetting• Oil Company/CAP• USCG – TVEL/LOC
Not all bad news
• IMO – Secretary-Generals’ initiatives
• Reductions in number of SIRE & CDI inspections/ per ship noted over recent years
• TMSA – has potential to reduce “the number of inspections that each ship undergoes”
But !
Indications that OCIMF is advising that:
“ SIRE reports start to lose their value after 6 months and OCIMF therefore recommends that the vessel is re-
inspected accordingly ”
Inspections – what for ?
• Ship is seaworthy
• Operators are up to the job
• Compliance with Statutory requirements
Another World
• Roadworthiness• Operator Licence• Registration
- Roadworthiness
- Insurance
Overseas
- International licences & insurance certification
Areas for rationalisation
• Better coordination of PSC inspections
• More rationalised commercial inspections – SIRE/CDI/Terminals
• Integration of “voluntary additional” structural assessments by class – principally CAP
• Better sharing of information among all parties – e.g. for P&I
• Other – e.g. removal of flag state & ROs overlap
Port State ControlNeed :
Global sharing and mutual recognition of records between ”responsible” MoUs, - thereby reducing number of inspections
Central database – with PSC records logged by all ”responsible” MOUs in Equasis or other
Better harmonisation and consistency of standards, training, etc. across all PSC regimes - including consistency in inspection and targeting criteria – based in part on analysis of PSC records and not arbitrary mechansisms, such as quota systems
Uniformity in internal procedures, such as clear grounds for detention, independent appeal panels, close-out of deficiencies, etc.
& To ensure that the integrity of PSC is maintained
Common VIQ
VPQ (Vessel Particulars Questionnaire) harmonised between CDI and SIRE
BUT
COMMON VIQ (Vessel Inspection Questionnaire) still not agreed
ULTIMATE GOAL:
Full merger of both systems with a single report issued and accepted by ALL the Oil & Chemical
Companies, Terminals and other cargo interests
Any hope ?
• Charterers & Terminals
• Port State Control MOUs
• IMO – jointly with the other stakeholders
Remember !
