Our goal is, to be found in compliance with the governing rules, regulations & requirements and zero findings to be identified.
At KMK Marine Consultants, we provide comprehensive ship inspection and audit services to ensure vessels comply with international regulations and industry standards, including preparation for RightShip and SIRE 2.0 inspections.
Pre-RightShip & Pre-SIRE 2.0 Audits
We conduct pre-RightShip and pre-SIRE 2.0 audits to help your vessel prepare for these vital assessments. This proactive approach identifies potential non-compliances, allowing time to correct issues before the official inspection, enhancing your vessel’s reputation and performance in these critical audits.
Prevetting Inspections
Our process begins with an on-board visit to thoroughly check the vessel’s certificates, documents, and overall condition, including hygiene and operational readiness. Key areas inspected include:
- Navigation bridge, accommodation, and galley
- Decks, forecastle, cargo holds/tanks
- Engine room and steering gear
The inspection verifies compliance with internationally accepted rules and standards, assessing the ship’s overall integrity and functionality.
If initial findings suggest non-compliance or deficiencies in the ship’s condition, equipment, or crew performance, a more detailed inspection is conducted. This involves an in-depth examination to address specific issues and ensure the vessel meets all regulatory requirements.
