The Synergy Marine Group has been very active in preparing for SIRE 2.0.
Two of our managed Chevron TC vessels, the “SAKURA VOYAGER'' and the “BLUE BUTTERFLY”, recently completed inspections under this upcoming regime. These are part of industrywide trials before rollout from 2 September and are among over a dozen that we have undertaken, all working closely with oil majors like Chevron, BP, Shell and Ampol.
To ensure full familiarisation with the new requirements, as for all trials we meticulously prepared the vessels and their crew, this time under the expert command of Captains Achuthan and Nitin Dua, and many shore-based staff were likewise trained in seeking what proved to be complete success.
For the “SAKURA VOYAGER” the team included Captain Sachin Bagga (DPA) and Mr. Madhan (TSI), with Captain Dipan (MSI) also involved for the “BLUE BUTTERFLY”. All thus gained first-hand experience of the inspection process, and an identical proactive and close-up approach with the other SIRE 2.0 trials is proving highly beneficial in reinforcing both seafarer and shore confidence in being ready for when the new provisions come in. Capturing them, together with the learning gained from the trials, we are also developing our own SIRE 2.0 preparatory and familiarisation tool, a web and app-based device that can easily be accessed both at sea and ashore.
Ship and shore already have OCIMF guidance for each question, with all applicable SMS and PMS component references handily mapped and all previous VIQ 7 observations categorised under hardware, process or human PIF, and before each inspection the crew verify readiness with a ship-specific checklist prepared by the superintendents, all after final checks on all core matters and any defects previously identified.
Very much more crew-focussed, SIRE 2.0 is more exacting but more rewarding, with several enhanced safety measures. These integrate human factors as part of focussing on a risk-based approach, and so achieve a more comprehensive and objective assessment, and several new features allow operating companies to proactively identify potential risks and mitigate them promptly.
