Ship Inspection Report Programme (SIRE)

The Ship Inspection Report Programme (SIRE) is a systematic inspection process used in the maritime industry to assess the safety, compliance, and operational standards of oil tankers and other vessels. Managed by the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP), it involves trained inspectors evaluating areas such as safety equipment, environment protection measures, and crew practices. The goal is to identify potential issues before they lead to accidents or environmental damage. Reports generated are shared among industry stakeholders to promote best practices, enhance safety, and maintain high operational standards across shipping companies worldwide.
