Since its inception, OCIMF’s Ship Inspection Report Programme (SIRE) has helped to support continuous improvement in the safety of the marine industry by providing a robust tanker risk assessment tool and vessel inspection report database.

SIRE 2.0 Inspectors

General and SIRE 2.0

Does SIRE 2.0 include barges and offshore vessels?

The SIRE 2.0 inspection regime that will be launched in 2022 is for tankers only (SIRE category 1). However, there is an ongoing project to align all OCIMF inspection programmes to the extent possible. This means several elements of SIRE 2.0 will be implemented for barges and offshore vessels in the future. The current target completion date for the Programmes Alignment project is 2024, but this may change.

How is it perceived that doing the inspection on a tablet will make the actual inspection any better or more effective?

SIRE 2.0 is a completely new concept on vessel inspection, based on risk ranking of questions into Core and Rotational questions, and focused on hardware, processes, and human factors. The tablet will provide an inspector with more information to enable a more objective assessment of the vessel. The responses from the tablet will also allow greater data mining to be completed, improved risk assessment for the report recipient, and allow new questions to be added by OCIMF when necessary.

The use of the tablet also allows OCIMF to enhance the quality and integrity of the inspection regime by using technology to increase transparency and improve oversight.

What is OCIMF’s plan to explain SIRE 2.0 to ship's operator and crew?

OCIMF is implementing a robust SIRE 2.0 communication plan to ensure that vessel operators and other users of the SIRE programme are aware of the key changes due to take place. The plan includes engagement with all relevant tanker industry associations and a series of webinars to help prepare vessel operators for SIRE 2.0.

If the average number of inspections are hoped to be reduced, how many inspections per vessel per year is envisaged under the new regime?

The current average number of inspections per vessel is about 2.4 per year. One of the objectives of SIRE 2.0 is to reduce this number even further by strengthening confidence in the reports submitted into the database. With an increase in confidence in the reports submitted, the need for repeat inspections on the same vessel within a relatively short period should reduce.

What will the interval of the inspections be now with SIRE 2.0?

The inspection frequency is a decision for each Submitting Company when considering a vessel for charter.

Can inspectors continue to inspect vessels in the same way as they have done for years and then complete the questionnaire later?

No – the SIRE 2.0 Inspection Programme is a tablet-based inspection process, and an inspector will be expected to populate the inspection editor as the inspection progresses.

What is required to ensure flawless data integration from SIRE 2.0 to a member company's system?

OCIMF has developed a new Application Programme Interface (API) for SIRE 2.0 integration. This was published on 31 January 2021 to those companies that integrate with the existing API to download inspection reports and vessel particulars documents. These companies are now expected to engage with their in-house marine assurance experts to assess and ascertain how to integrate with the SIRE 2.0 platform in a way that works for them. OCIMF meets regularly with these companies, as a group, to discuss the SIRE 2.0 integration development work and provide support, where necessary. The deadline for the integration work by the companies is September 2021.

For all other SIRE 2.0 Submitting Companies and Programme Recipients, SIRE 2.0, once launched, will be used in exactly the same way – as a cloud-based system, accessed through any web-enabled device. Users will simply log-in to the system as usual, download their reports or use other functionality within the platform.

Will new system have question risk ratings?

OCIMF has ranked each SIRE 2.0 question using risk assessment models (also known as ‘bowties’) developed in collaboration with the OCIMF membership. The ranking process determines how a question will be managed and allocated within the inspection programme. Questions which are identified as being Core, i.e., related to significant risks onboard a vessel as defined by OCIMF members, will be assigned to all inspections where the question is relevant to the vessel being inspected, whilst questions identified as being Rotational, i.e., not related to a significant risk as defined by OCIMF members will be allocated on an occasional basis.

Whilst OCIMF has used a bowtie risk assessment model to determine whether questions are Core or Rotational, the end user of a report must make their own determination of relative risk posed to their organisation by each question based on their own evaluation of a question and its supporting guidance.

Will there be a comparison between the new and old version?

OCIMF will carry out a gap analysis of VIQ 7 and SIRE 2.0 questions to avoid creating any gaps or leaving out any important questions. However, it is important to note that there is not always a direct correlation between VIQ7 and SIRE 2.0 questions. In many cases, top level questions in VIQ7 and SIRE 2.0 may have similarities, but the construction of SIRE 2.0 questions and the supporting guidance often means that there is no direct simple linkage.

If there are variable questionnaires for the same vessel, how would this be seen as a consistent measure against each vessel? How will companies benchmark vessel performance or analyse trends related to findings/areas of concern when the inspection questions set will be different for each inspection.

SIRE 2.0 will reduce the overall number of questions assigned to an inspection with the expectation that an inspector will take the appropriate time to examine and report more accurately on the hardware, process and human related aspects linked to the top-level question.

Core questions will be fixed and regularly applied every time a vessel is inspected and therefore predictable to programme participants. Rotational questions will be allocated over several inspections in a manner which is unpredictable to programme participants.

New hardware, process, and human (task based) response tools have been developed for SIRE 2.0. These will enable the inspector to codify negative observations and identify the subject and nature of concern which will permit data mining to detect weaknesses in company and ship level management practices.

How does OCIMF plan to ensure SIRE 2.0 manages the effect of COVID?

SIRE 2.0 will be a physical inspection. However, the remote inspection regime that was developed by OCIMF in 2020 to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 will continue to be made available to Submitting Companies for the entire duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Can OCIMF expand on the human factor enhancements in SIRE 2.0?

OCIMF, through the integration of human factors into SIRE 2.0, will help ensure that all users of the programmes consider human factors to reach safety and environmental goals. People are part of the systems that protect ships. There are conditions that can set a person up to succeed or fail. These conditions are known as Performance Influencing Factors (PIFs). They influence reliable execution of critical tasks. SIRE 2.0 will help users of the programme understand and tackle PIFs by:

• Identifying objective conditions that go beyond the individual.
• Giving vessel operators and crew systematic opportunities to improve.

Inspectors will be trained under SIRE 2.0 to:
• Understand Human Factors and why they are important.
• Recognise PIFs and tag them to SIRE 2.0 inspection observations, as defined by OCIMF.
• Build engagement skills that encourage open, helpful responses from crews.
• Have opportunities to practice using realistic examples that allow an inspector to get a feeling for how to apply in real life.

For more information on human factors in SIRE 2.0, see OCIMF - Oil Companies International Marine Forum - SIRE 2.0 Human Factors Update.

Are there any plans to enforce the rest hours for the inspectors under SIRE 2.0, especially in cases where there is extensive travel required for inspections?

SIRE 2.0 Reporting

OCIMF SIRE VIQ 7

SIRE 2.0

While currently in development, the new vessel inspection regime, SIRE 2.0, will more accurately report on the quality of a vessel and its crew (on an ongoing basis) and indicate future likely performance, using enhanced tools, strengthened governance processes and more in-depth reporting outcomes, following a risk-based approach.

The new SIRE 2.0 regime is expected to become operational in 2022. Until then, the current SIRE programme will continue to be updated and improved to incorporate the latest standards, best practice and regulations. Learn more about the existing SIRE Programme here.
