Frequently Asked Operational Questions

In addition to regulatory understanding, officers often seek clarity on real inspection expectations. This course addresses practical concerns related to onboard interviews, live task demonstrations, and inspector observation techniques.

Participants gain insights into how inspectors assess competence, communication, and procedural awareness during active vessel operations.

What is SIRE 2.0 in tanker vetting?

SIRE 2.0 is the updated Ship Inspection Report Programme framework developed by OCIMF. It introduces a competency-based inspection model focusing on crew behavior, operational performance, and real-time task assessment during tanker inspections.

Who should take this SIRE 2.0 training course?

This course is designed for Masters, Chief Officers, Chief Engineers, tanker crew members, marine superintendents, and vetting departments involved in inspection preparation and compliance management.

The updated framework shifts from checklist-based inspections to a behavioral and competency-focused model. Inspectors now assess decision-making, communication, and operational readiness rather than documentation alone.
