The purpose of these inspections is to successfully complete Cargo Major Inspections. Cargo Majors, or Petroleum Terminals generally conduct inspection of the 3rd party vessels against standards of safe vessel operation developed through inputs of various stakeholders in the industry. Based on the rating of the vessel’s condition, these cargo majors permit the vessel to carry their cargoes or allow them to operate on their terminal. Commercially, it is very critical to have your vessels endorsed by cargo majors in order to increase commercial engagement of the fleet.

Vetting Inspections are a snapshot evaluation of your operating procedures, implementation, and condition of the vessel and her equipment. It is crucial to keep your vessels prepared all the time for the vetting to maximize commercial opportunities.

We have especially designed ship inspections based on SIRE program and RightShip for Oil & Chemical Tankers or Bulk Carriers to evaluate the preparedness of the vessel for the upcoming vetting inspections. The vessel Operator 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. We provide truly independent advice on potential gaps, risks and how to mitigate them.
