The maritime industry, particularly the oil, chemical and gas industries, is a highly competitive market in the modern maritime era. Owners and operators are required to ensure high safety standards in their respective fleets and/or on board their acquired fleet.

The major oil companies have introduced a set of standard guidelines to measure the standard of safe operation and compliance on a vessel. The major oil companies only charter vessels to transport their cargoes and authorise traffic in and out of their terminals. This only applies to vessels that are approved by the oil companies and meet the recommended guidelines.

At Kensa, our expert inspectors ensure that a thorough inspection report is provided to our clients, detailing the key areas of concern, risks identified and recommendations for compliance with Oil Major guidelines. This inspection focuses on improving the safe operation of the vessel and meeting Oil Major requirements. Our service ensures that the vessel is always maintained to the highest standard and that there are no risks to trading operations.

The areas of inspection includes:

• Procedures
• Documentations
• Safety Equipment Readiness 
• Operation Standards
• Condition of Vessel
• Crew Competencies & Trainings
• Recommendation

We have developed vessel inspections based on the SIRE and RightShip program for oil and chemical tankers or bulk carriers to assess the vessel’s preparation for upcoming inspections. This service typically involves a 2-day visit to the vessel, preferably during cargo discharge. We provide independent advice on potential gaps, risks and mitigation plans.
