Objective

To ensure that the vessel had been periodically and systematically inspected by company Marine and
Technical Superintendents to provide shore management with a complete technical and operational
appraisal of their managed vessel.

TMSA KPI 12.1.2 requires that an inspection plan covers all vessels in a fleet, with at least two inspections onboard
each vessel a year.

x The inspection is conducted by suitably experienced superintendent(s) and may be carried out in
conjunction with other inspections/audits.
x Following each inspection, a report is made and is reviewed/signed off by shore management.
x The inspection process provides company management with a comprehensive overview of the condition of
the fleet at specified intervals.

IMO: ISM Code

10.1 The Company should establish procedures to ensure that the ship is maintained in conformity with the
provisions of the relevant rules and regulations and with any additional requirements which may be established by the
Company.

10.2 In meeting these requirements the Company should ensure that:

1. inspections are held at appropriate intervals,


2. any non-conformity is reported with its possible cause, if known,
3. appropriate corrective action is taken, and
4. records of these activities are maintained.

Inspection Guidance

The vessel operator should have established a vessel inspection program which requires a vessel to be inspected at
least twice a year by a combination of Marine and Technical Superintendent visits. It is expected that:

x Inspections are scheduled at six-month intervals, with a tolerance of one month, but intervals between
inspections should not normally exceed seven months.
x The interval between successive inspections conducted by either a Marine Superintendent or a Technical
Superintendent should not normally exceed fourteen months.

x An inspection report should record the findings of each inspection in a defined format which gives an
overview of the true state of all operational and accessible areas of the vessel and its equipment in addition
to providing an overview of onboard management to shore-based management.
x The inspection report should summarise structural, machinery and equipment defects identified during the
inspection which should be transferred to the vessel’s defect reporting system for follow up and closure.
x The inspection report should summarise any procedural weaknesses identified for follow up through the
non-conformity process.
x A copy of the full inspection report for each superintendent visit should be maintained on board the vessel.

Remote inspections

Where a vessel operator had developed a formal remote vessel inspection programme to cover vessels which could
not reasonably be visited by a company superintendent, the inspector should accept these as qualifying visits
provided:

x There was a company procedure for conducting remote vessel inspections which defined:
o The circumstances in which a remote inspection may be used to substitute for a physical
inspection.
o The condition verification processes for all areas of the ship under inspection.
o The required content of the final inspection report.
x Completed inspection reports in accordance with the company procedure were available for each remote
superintendent inspection.

The vessel operator should have declared the attendance dates for all qualifying vessel inspections by company
Marine and Technical Superintendents during the previous eighteen months through the pre-inspection
questionnaire.

Additional vessel visits by senior management, Electrical Superintendents or those by Marine and Technical
Superintendents to deal with a specific issue which did not result in a full inspection and subsequent report being
completed are not considered under this question.

Suggested Inspector Actions

Review the vessel inspection reports completed by Marine and Technical Superintendents and verify that:

x Vessel inspection reports were available onboard for each of the declared qualifying vessel inspections
completed during the previous eighteen months.
x Each vessel inspection report recorded the observed condition of all operational and accessible areas of the
vessel and its equipment.
x Where areas for improvement or defects were identified, the defect or non-conformity reporting system was
utilised to track the corrective actions through to closure.
x Any remote inspections had been performed as required by the company procedure.

Expected Evidence

x Qualifying vessel inspection reports completed by company Marine or Technical Superintendents during the
previous eighteen months.
x Evidence that defects and areas for improvement had been followed up through the company defect
reporting or non-conformity reporting systems.
x The company procedure for conducting remote inspections, if applicable.

Potential Grounds for a Negative Observation

x Reports were not available onboard for each declared qualifying vessel inspection conducted by a company
Marine or Technical Superintendent.

x The inspection report format did not cover all operational and accessible areas of the vessel and its
equipment.
x The interval between successive qualifying inspections by either a Marine or Technical Superintendent
exceeded seven months.
x It was more than fourteen months since either the previous Marine or Technical Superintendent inspection.
x Where the vessel was new to management there had been no Marine or Technical inspection completed
since handover or delivery.
x Remote inspections had been conducted but there was no company procedure which defined:
o The circumstances in which a remote inspection may be used to substitute for a physical
inspection.
o The condition verification processes for all areas of the ship under inspection.
o The required content of the final inspection report.
x More than one remote inspection had been conducted when a physical inspection could reasonably have
been carried out.
x There was no evidence that each area for improvement or defect identified within the vessel inspection
reports had been followed up through the documented company processes either as non-conformities or
defect reports.
