In the maritime industry, compliance and safety are non-negotiable. For tanker operators and shipowners, passing the OCIMF Ship Inspection Report Programme (SIRE) is essential to maintaining credibility, securing charters, and ensuring operational readiness. At Leeward Industrial and Marine Services LLC , we provide comprehensive SIRE Prevetting Preparation services designed to help your vessel and crew perform at the highest standards during official inspections.

Why SIRE Prevetting Matters

The SIRE program is one of the most rigorous and widely recognized inspection frameworks in the maritime industry. It evaluates vessel condition, safety management, crew competence, and compliance with international regulations. Failing a SIRE inspection can result in costly delays, reputational damage, and lost business opportunities. Prevetting preparation ensures that your ship is fully compliant, your crew is confident, and your records are in order before the official inspection takes place.

Our Prevetting Approach

At Leeward Industrial and Marine Services LLC , we take a structured, hands-on approach to SIRE Prevetting:

  • Detailed Vessel Audit: Comprehensive inspection of vessel systems, machinery, safety equipment, and documentation.
  • Gap Analysis: Identification of non-conformities and areas requiring corrective action.
  • Crew Training & Drills: Preparing crew members to handle inspector questions and demonstrate operational competence.
  • Documentation Review: Ensuring all records, manuals, and certificates are accurate, updated, and ready for inspection.
  • Corrective Action Support: Guidance on implementing improvements and closing gaps before the official audit.
  • Mock Inspections: Conducting trial inspections to simulate real SIRE conditions and boost crew confidence.
