A Pre-SIRE Inspection is a preparatory audit conducted to assess a vessel’s readiness for a formal SIRE (Ship Inspection Report Programme) inspection, initiated by OCIMF. It is crucial because it helps identify non-conformities, enhances safety practices, and improves the likelihood of passing the actual vetting, ensuring uninterrupted charter opportunities and reputational credibility.
The inspection evaluates multiple areas, including but not limited to:
Navigation and bridge procedures
Safety and lifesaving equipment
Cargo operations and documentation
Engine room practices
ISM compliance
Crew competency and training
Emergency preparedness
Pollution prevention and control measures
This holistic review ensures vessel-wide readiness for SIRE.
Pre-SIRE Inspections are usually performed by qualified professionals such as former Master Mariners, Chief Engineers, or marine surveyors with experience in OCIMF vetting protocols. Companies like Aveeda Marine offer specialized services led by seasoned maritime personnel.
While not mandatory, it is highly advisable to conduct Pre-SIRE Inspections:
Before any scheduled SIRE vetting
After major maintenance or dry-docking
When new crew members join
If the vessel has been idle for long periods
Routine inspections help maintain continuous compliance.
Ensure availability and readiness of:
Certificates and ship logs
Safety management system (SMS) manuals
Cargo operation records
Training records
Maintenance logs
Checklists and drills
Well-organized documentation reflects professionalism and improves inspection outcomes.
