6 SECTION 1 1.1 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. 1.2 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. In 2013 a further major revision of the VIQ was undertaken. 1 Under the Original 1993 Programme, the inspecting OCIMF Member was free to choose whatever inspection protocol and report format it desired. In 1997, the Uniform Vessel Inspection Procedure changed this. The Vessel Particular Questionnaire was a newly developed OCIMF document, also introduced in 1997 and was not part of the original programme. The Vessel Inspection Questionnaire was further revised in 2000, and the Vessel Particulars Questionnaire was also revised in 2003 when a Harmonised Vessel Particulars Questionnaire (HVPQ) was introduced. Updated VIQs were published in 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2012. 2 The SIRE Programme was expanded in 2005 to include the inspection of barges carrying petroleum products, chemicals, or gas, or vessels used in the carriage of packaged petroleum products or gas, or road tankers carrying the same commodities. Towing vessels that are utilised in the handling of barges carrying the above listed products may also be inspected under the SIRE Programme. The inspection of these vessels and associated questionnaires are addressed in separate questionnaires. © Copyright OCIMF 2014. All rights reserved. 6
7 1.3 Uniform Vessel Inspection Procedure The programme requires that participating submitting companies follow a uniform Vessel Inspection Procedure. This procedure has an Inspection Element and a Report Element. The Inspection Element uses a series of detailed inspection questionnaires as appropriate for the type of vessel inspected. These questionnaires address issues associated with safety and pollution prevention. Inspectors who are employed, or contracted by submitting companies must (with certain exceptions) answer all these questions. Questions are, in many cases, accompanied by guidance notes and/or references to source documents. Their purpose is to aid the Inspector’s response. The Report Element is developed from the completed electronic questionnaire that is submitted by the Inspector, either directly to the SIRE web site, or to the submitting company for further processing prior to transmission to the vessel operator and to SIRE. © Copyright OCIMF 2014.
