This course guides engineers in carrying out a self-audit to prepare the vessel for inspections (Sire 2.0, RISQ, PSC, Flag State, etc). It helps engineers know the requirements, and the vessel in greater depth within a structured manner.

A successful self-audit requires crew knowledge and preparedness about what is expected to be examined during an inspection. This is for documentation, hardware, critical and emergency operations, and the standards of testing.

Inspections have now become the primary focus in assessing the condition of vessels and the competence of all on board. It has an oversized impact on the image of the company, management, staff on board and commercial viability.

This course guides engineers and crew on how to prepare an E.R. for inspections. With the focus shifting increasingly towards 'human factors'; it’s a requirement that all Seafarers are knowledgeable about their responsibilities and duties, concerning operations, maintenance, safety, emergency preparedness and environmental protection. It's also important for ship staff to be able to demonstrate confidence in accessing company instructions where required, as it has become an integral part of the inspection regime.
