Vessel inspection, vetting and audit programmes

A vetting procedure is only as good as the operation it was written against. We have written procedures adopted by major operators, and run the operations they govern.

What we deliver

Vetting and acceptance procedures

The criteria an operator applies before accepting a vessel or a contractor onto a project: what is checked, by whom, against what standard, and what closes a finding.

Audit programmes

Audit regimes built from scratch or rebuilt: scope, frequency, auditor competence, finding categories, and the route by which a finding actually changes something.

Independent audit

Audits carried out against IMCA guidance, class notation and the company’s own standards, including DP operations, operator competence and the DP operations manual.

Vessel inspection

Inspection to IMCA eCMID by an accredited vessel inspector, and gap analysis against the standard the charterer intends to apply.

When to involve us

Before a campaign that will put contracted vessels alongside your asset, when an existing vetting regime is producing findings nobody acts on, or when a charterer wants an independent view of a vessel before fixing.

Typical engagement: a procedure set and audit programme delivered once, or a rolling audit arrangement across a fleet.
