Tanker vetting reviews can examine the interaction between shipboard practices, management systems, crew competence, maintenance and evidence. Preparation should therefore be continuous.
Focus areas
- Certificate and document control.
- Critical equipment readiness.
- Familiarity with procedures.
- Training and competence records.
- Previous findings and corrective actions.
- Operational consistency between procedure and practice.
Close the loop
Every finding should have an owner, action, due date and verification method.
