PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Background
This Vessel Particulars Questionnaire asks over 700 separate questions about ship particulars and required or customary on board documents which are of a permanent or semi-permanent nature, primarily related to safety and pollution prevention. The questions are indexed by numbers and are logically grouped into separate Chapters.
This Document is intended for use by entities which have a need to inspect ships, such as prospective charterers, terminal operators and port State entities.
It is intended that this Questionnaire be answered by the ship Operator 1 and be made available to the inspecting party either prior to the shipboard inspection or during the course of such inspection. The foregoing will allow the inspector to have at hand complete and presumably up to date ship information which the Inspector may need or find helpful during the ship inspection.2
Instructions for Use of Questionnaire
For questions requiring a yes or no, the Operator should delete either the “Yes” or the “No” in the question answer box. If a particular question or request for information is not applicable, the Operator should make a notation of N/A in the question answer box.
All measurements should be given in metric units. If for any reason metric units cannot be used, this should be clearly indicated.
______________________1 The term Operator as used in this Document means the company or entity which exercises day-to-day operational control of, and responsibility for, a ship. The registered owner may or may not be the operator
2 OCIMF has established a Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) Programme which enables OCIMF Members to submit their inspection reports to OCIMF for OCIMF’s distribution to OCIMF Members and certain qualifying non-OCIMF members. This Programme incorporates the use and distribution of this Questionnaire under special guidelines. Information about the foregoing can be obtained by interested parties by contacting The SIRE Programme Manager, 96 Victoria Street, London SWIE 5JW, England. Tel +44-171-245-3006. Fax +44-171-3370
