Tanker Vetting

---

One of the most significant safety initiatives introduced by Oil Company International Marine Forum (OCIMF) was the Ship Inspection Reporting Programme (SIRE). The SIRE programme requires a uniform inspection protocol that is predicted by amongst various other Questionnaires, a Uniform SIRE Inspection Report.  

SIRE has established itself as a major source of technical and operational information to prospective charterers and other programme users. Its increasing use corresponds with oil industry efforts to better ascertain whether vessels are well managed and maintained. Professionally informed vetting decisions are leading to improvements in the quality of ships, accelerating its continuing drive for safer ships and cleaner seas.

Scorpius Marine LLC is approved to carry out SIRE inspections by most of the major oil companies.
