1. Asset Integrity Management 

Asset integrity, or asset integrity management systems (AIMS) is the term for an asset’s capacity to run effectively and accurately, whilst also protecting the wellbeing of all personnel and equipment with which it interacts – as well as the measures in place to assure the asset’s life cycle.

Integrity management aims to prevent  incidents  due  to  failure  of  equipment  and  facility,  and  avoid  serious harm  to  people, environment and assets.

Kensa Marine provides competent personnel to establish, implement, maintain and verify compliance of the Asset Integrity management system and controls to assure integrity of Safety Critical Elements (SCE). This   applies   during   design,   construction,   commissioning,   startup,   operations,   maintenance, inspection, decommissioning and mothballing.

2. Asset Assurance Management

Successful implementation of the AIMS is done through an assurance inspection either through an internal or external assessor. Here Kensa Marine will play the role of an external independent assessor providing 3rd party opinion on the efficacy of the vessels integrity and maintenance program.

The Kensa Marine Asset Assurance (AA) process typically includes:

Agreed Terms of Reference: The assurance program is done against a defined assessment criteria. Policies, practices, procedures or requirements against which the assessor compares collected evidence about the subject matter. Note: Criteria may include but are not limited to standards, guidelines, objectives, specified organizational requirements and legislated or regulatory requirements. The TOR and assessment criteria is proposed by Client however Kensa Marine can nominate. 

Assurance process: Send out notification email to Auditee informing Audit plan tentative schedule and planned date for kick off meeting. Share assurance checklist with auditee. This is done before kick off. At kick off meeting, auditors will meet auditees and explain/introduce assurance activity background, process, checklist scope, proposed timeline, typical findings report format, finding criticality assignment, assign PIC to each of the elements in AA Checklist for both onshore/offshore, timeline to close findings, and other relevant Client instructions.

Documents required by Auditors will be requested at this stage are typically:

• P&ID & Process Schematic
• Site Specific Procedures for Marine/Production/Maintenance
• Operator Inspection and Maintenance Guidelines
• Operation Site Specific Manuals/Procedure for General/Marine/Production/Maintenance
• PM Past Reports Monthly Maintenance Reports (12 months), Daily Report past 2 months, Corrective Maintenance and Breakdown Maintenance records
• List of MOC, Bypass, Safety Incidents past 12 months
• CBM records (Lube, Thermo, Vibration)
• Operations Safety Case
• Organization Chart Onshore & Offshore

AA can be structured into two phases onshore and offshore both of which may include the same teams of auditors however auditees may differ. Both phases will require 2-3 pax Kensa Marine auditors depending on availability of auditors and complexity of assets. Both phases will require the Kensa Marine team to be constantly accompanied by Operator personnel. 

AA Onshore Phase will include AA checklist elements related to leadership, procurement, risk management, operations planning, maintenance management, shore controls and oversight, HR processes, and HSEMS implementation and training. Preliminary finding shall be shared with the auditee at the end of the session. 2 days shall be provided for onshore sessions and extended if necessary.

AA Offshore Phase will include AA checklist elements related to ship condition, maintenance activity and tracking, work permits, offshore work planning. Details are provided in AIA

Checklist. 3 days shall be provided for offshore sessions excluding travel time. With travelling AIA offshore is anticipated to be 5 days

Kensa Marine can act independently on behalf of the Asset Operator, Asset Owner, Charterer or Field Operator and will deliver a clear report with agreed actions with operators. Kensa Marine usually does not follow up with audit findings closure actions, however this can be quoted to clients on a case to case basis.
