In the highly regulated world of chemical and gas tanker operations, compliance and safety standards are paramount. The Chemical Distribution Institute (CDI) inspection is one of the most comprehensive assessments vessels undergo, focusing on safety, environmental protection, and operational management. At Leeward Industrial and Marine Services LLC , our CDI Preparation services ensure that your vessel, crew, and documentation meet the stringent requirements of CDI inspections with confidence and efficiency.

Why CDI Preparation is Critical

CDI inspections are designed to protect stakeholders, the environment, and the global supply chain. A poor inspection outcome can result in serious operational and commercial consequences, including delays, detentions, and loss of charter opportunities. Effective preparation not only minimizes these risks but also enhances operational excellence and credibility in the eyes of charterers, regulators, and industry partners.

Our CDI Preparation Approach

At Leeward Industrial and Marine Services LLC , we provide a structured, step-by-step preparation process to cover every detail of the inspection:

  • Comprehensive Vessel Audit: Assessing safety systems, cargo handling equipment, pollution prevention measures, and onboard operations.
  • Documentation Review: Verifying manuals, certificates, logbooks, and records for accuracy and compliance with CDI standards.
  • Crew Readiness & Training: Conducting drills, Q&A sessions, and familiarization exercises to ensure crew confidence during the inspection.
  • Gap Identification & Corrective Actions: Highlighting areas of non-compliance and providing clear, practical solutions.
  • Mock CDI Inspections: Simulating real inspection conditions to test preparedness and address gaps before the official audit.
  • Continuous Support: Offering guidance until all issues are resolved and the vessel is fully inspection-ready.
