Why vet?
Marine oil terminals, charterers and shippers with the interest of using third party vessels need to be sure that the human, safety, quality and environmental risks are well managed.

A good vetting system is important to ensure that there is a systematical management of safety and quality risks for third party vessels. Sub-standard vessels that are identified early can be required to take actions to reduce that risk.

Without a vetting system in place, there are no means to identify sub-standard vessels and the vessel is potentially a risk to the terminal. Sub-standard vessels may be detained by Port State Control or Coast Guard and causes delay or disruption to the cargo operation.

Safe-Ships Marine Services vessel vetting program uses many sources of information to determine the vessel’s risk rating. The rating of a vessel will assist our clients in their commercial decision-making.
