Inspection regime

C2. Ship operations, crewing and technical management

Definition

Combination of PSC, vetting, and class inspections.

An inspection regime is the combined set of inspections a ship faces across its operating life: class surveys by the recognized organization, statutory flag-state checks, port state control boardings under regional MoUs, and commercial vetting by charterers through SIRE 2.0 or CDI. Each runs on its own rules and frequency, but they overlap, since a detainable port state control deficiency, an open condition of class, or a poor vetting score all feed the ship’s risk profile and its commercial standing. A ship manager tracks the whole regime through the survey status, the certificate file, and the vetting record, because failure in any one strand can stop the ship trading.
