SIRE (Ship Inspection Report Programme)

The Ship Inspection Report Programme (SIRE) is a standardized system used by oil companies and shipping organizations to evaluate the safety, maintenance, and operational standards of oil tankers. Trained inspectors conduct onboard inspections to identify potential issues and ensure compliance with international safety regulations. The resulting reports provide a detailed assessment of a ship’s condition, helping owners and charterers make informed decisions about chartering or purchasing vessels. SIRE aims to promote safety, minimize environmental risk, and maintain high standards within the maritime industry through consistent, transparent reporting.
