Coupled with this is the growing concern for the environment, especially regarding pollution of the seas due to oil spillage or discharge. Given these factors, it is well known that oil companies exercise due diligence by ‘vetting’ the Vessels and Vessel Operators to ensure the safe carriage of their cargoes.

Thus, it becomes a commercial necessity for Tanker operators that vetting inspections on their Vessels result in acceptance by the oil companies for trading. VIQ program has been in use for a number of years now and there is a fair amount of awareness amongst sailing staff and office staff about the requirements. With OCIMF set to launch a new inspection regime titled “SIRE 2.0” there is a recognized necessity to sensitize officers and engineers onboard regarding the new regime.

Our Course – SIRE 2.0 has been designed keeping these requirements in mind. The Course begins with an overview of the SIRE 2.0 programme, goes through the inspection process in detail, and ends with practical advice on dealing with Vetting Inspectors. The Course has been developed with the assistance of active Vetting Inspectors and experienced staff sailing on oil majors’ vessels.
