A Prevetting Inspection is a comprehensive evaluation carried out on a vessel prior to a formal vetting inspection by oil majors, charterers, or terminal operators. This process ensures that the vessel meets all necessary safety, environmental, and operational standards, reducing the likelihood of deficiencies being reported in the official vetting. Key areas inspected include the ship’s equipment, documentation, crew qualifications, safety protocols, and overall operational readiness. Prevetting inspections help shipowners identify and address potential issues early, enhancing the vessel's chances of successful vetting. This proactive approach helps maintain the vessel’s commercial viability and ensures compliance with international regulations, promoting safety and efficiency in maritime operations. It is a critical step for vessels in oil, gas, and chemical transportation.
