Preparation is question-driven only
Teams focus on anticipated questions without testing the processes and evidence behind their answers.
Tanker Vetting Readiness
SIRE 2.0 Readiness Focused on People, Evidence and Performance
Support for tanker operators preparing vessel and shore teams to understand the inspection approach, strengthen evidence and address recurring readiness gaps.
Prepare the system, not a performance for inspection day
SIRE 2.0 readiness is not achieved by memorizing model answers. Strong preparation connects vessel particulars, procedures, records, equipment condition, crew familiarity and the human factors that influence performance. We help teams structure that preparation without claiming to predict or control inspection outcomes.
Human factors are treated separately
Communication, workload, supervision and situational awareness influence how technical tasks are performed.
Learning is not sustained
Observations are closed individually without identifying fleet-wide patterns or improvement opportunities.
What the engagement can include
The final scope is agreed around your organization, vessels, people, available evidence and intended outcome. Typical deliverables include:
- Readiness scope and evidence matrix
- Crew familiarization workshop structure
- Human-performance discussion prompts
- Observation and corrective-action review
- Documentation and record sampling plan
- Fleet learning and trend framework
- Priority readiness gap register
- Pre-inspection action roadmap
Our consulting approach
1. Define the scope
Clarify the applicable requirement, decision, operational context and evidence needed.
2. Assess the current position
Review documentation, roles, competence, records and practical implementation without creating unnecessary paperwork.
3. Deliver a prioritized roadmap
Separate urgent gaps from longer-term improvement and assign practical actions, owners and review points.
Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee a successful SIRE 2.0 inspection?
No. Inspection outcomes remain with the authorized parties. We provide independent preparation and improvement support.
Do you provide official OCIMF approval?
No. Maritime Path Consulting does not represent OCIMF and does not issue OCIMF approval or certification.
Can the review cover only crew preparation?
Yes. The scope can focus on crew familiarity, evidence, human factors, observations or a broader readiness review.
