WHAT IS SIRE 2.0?

Disclaimer: Kindly note that the guidance provided in this website is limited and complete guidance is available to our Inspectors, kindly use this information at your own discretion.

Key Changes to SIRE 2.0

Completely refreshed inspection questions to allow an Inspection Compiler to construct a unique, ship-specific set of questions for each vessel inspection called the Compiled Vessel Inspection Questionnaire (CVIQ).
Managing question allocation so that all aspects of a vessel’s operation are investigated over a series of inspections and using an algorithm to ensure the inspector has sufficient time to address allocated questions.
Enhanced question guidance.
Produce the target structures confidently and accurately.
Vessel operator to upload photographs, certificates and additional inspection-related information through the Pre-Inspection Questionnaire (PIQ) to facilitate the inspection and enhance the final report.

Aligning the inspection programme as closely as possible to TMSA .
Shifting the responsibility for identifying weaknesses in ship management processes from the inspector to the vessel operator using targeted declaration and verification questions aligned with TMSA expectations.
Making the inspector aware of any negative observations to core questions from the previous inspection.
Creating a bespoke tablet-based application, the Inspection Editor, to allow an inspector to gather and record information during an inspection, including taking photographs of observed conditions.
Tracking the progress of an inspection before, during, and after the physical inspection by logging inspector interaction with the Inspection Editor.
Reinforcing consideration of human factors during the inspection process by including an evaluation of the performance of vessel staff based on tasks performed or described.

How can we prepare ?

Get familiarise with the new inspection process.
Analyse the GAP in the system and Implement the new requirements.
Enhance crew awareness.
Optimise Performance Influencing Factors (PIFs) & reduce the likelihood of all types of human failure.
Know your CVIQ - based on PIQ, HVPQ inputs.
Comply with TMSA requirements.
Monitor and update vessel repository by operators.
Improve and analyse on defect & incident reporting system

How human elements are measured?

80% of SIRE 2.0 Questions start with "Are Masters and officers (and/or crew) familiar with...."
All human element in SIRE 2.0 Questions are measured using "Graduated" scale.
Graduated response under human element is measured as follows:
Execution of task exceeded expectation - tagging with 1 or more PIF
Execution of task was as expected.
Execution of task was largely as expected - tagging with 1 or more PIF.
Execution of task not as expected – Negative observation module.
