What we do:
Marigon Nautical Consultants, has Category 1 Inspectors that are accredited by OCIMF & certified for Oil, Chemical & Gas. They have conducted numerous inspections since 1997.
Inspections need to be actioned with direct contact, contract & communication to the OCIMF members. We can assist & point you in the correct direction.
This is what it is:
OCIMF was formed at a meeting in London on 8th April 1970. It was initially the oil industry’s response to increasing public awareness of marine pollution, particularly by oil, after the “Torrey Canyon” incident.
Governments had reacted to this incident by debating the development of international conventions and national legislation and the oil industry sought to play its part by making its professional expertise available and its views known to governmental and inter-governmental bodies.
OCIMF was incorporated in Bermuda in 1977 and a branch office was established in London primarily to maintain contact with the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
History of the SIRE Programme
In 1993, OCIMF established a Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) Programme, which enabled OCIMF members to submit their ship inspection reports to OCIMF for distribution to OCIMF members and certain qualifying non-OCIMF members.
Participation in the original programme, as either an inspecting OCIMF Member or a programme recipient, was strictly voluntary and each programme recipient determined independently how to evaluate the information contained in the reports received from OCIMF.
Under the SIRE Programme, the operator of any ship that is the subject of a report was given a copy of that report and the opportunity to submit written comments relating to the report, to both the inspecting OCIMF Member and to OCIMF.
Report recipients accessed the SIRE System Index by computer and this permitted the index to be viewed or downloaded. Programme recipients could order reports and any matching operator comments from the SIRE system. Reports and comments were transmitted by facsimile to the programme recipients’ pre-registered facsimile numbers on request.
Revisions to the Programme
The original SIRE Programme was first revised in 1997 and introduced the means whereby programme recipients were able to receive reports and any operator comments electronically, as well as by facsimile.
Two major changes were also introduced in the 1997 Revised Programme. These were:
1. A Uniform Vessel Inspection Procedure; and,
2. A Vessel Particular Questionnaire (VPQ)1
The SIRE Programme was again revised in 2000.
The 2004 revisions made further important changes to the inspection procedure whilst also adding numerous new vessel types that are inspected under the programme.2 Collectively, these are referred to herein as “Vessels”. Subsequent revisions updated the VIQ questions and guidance, but did not add any questions. This 2011 Edition substantially changes the focus of the VIQ to increase the emphasis of the inspection on navigation procedures and cargo and ballast handling operations. Consequently significant changes have been made in this edition.
