Regular ship inspection is crucial to ensuring the continued safe and efficient movement of your fleet. The vessel inspection checklist is a powerful tool for detailed condition and risk assessment, especially for oil and gas tankers.
Why Ship Surveys and Inspections
When your oil tanker is on the move, it is at the mercy of the ocean. Even the smallest of defects or malfunctioning can lead to catastrophic consequences. Such deficiencies can lead to oil spillage, damage to the vessel and its equipment or even loss of life, translation to millions of dollars in losses. Ship surveys and inspections ensure the oil or gas tankers are safe and compliant with safety regulations.
Why Vessel Inspection Checklist
With a comprehensive ship inspection checklist, companies can ensure a proactive and preventive approach to managing their fleet of oil tankers. A well-maintained vessel will complete the voyage on time and with maximum fuel efficiency. Use a vessel inspection app that comes preloaded with checklists and forms, and can be customised to general reports in your company’s format.
