Remote Pre-Vetting Inspections - Overview
In today’s shipping industry, nearly all major operators use vetting as a pre-selection tool when evaluating vessels for chartering. Compliance with Minimum Marine Safety Criteria has become non-negotiable, directly impacting a vessel’s employability.
With the challenges brought on by the Covid-19 era and the rising demand for efficiency, traditional onboard inspections are not always feasible. That’s why Remote Pre-Vetting Inspections provide a practical, reliable, and cost-effective solution for owners and managers.
Using ALG Risk Manager (ARM), our digital inspection platform, we bring the vetting process online—ensuring your vessel is always prepared, compliant, and operationally competitive without the need for physical attendance.
Remote Pre-Vetting Inspections - Details
Our Remote Pre-Vetting service combines digital tools and expert oversight to replicate the depth of traditional inspections, with added speed and accessibility.
The process includes:
- Pre-loaded VIQ (Vessel Inspection Questionnaire): The official vetting framework integrated into our system.
- Online Submission: Upload and validate ship condition reports, crew certificates, cargo documents, and vessel records directly via ARM.
- Systematic Review: Remote assessment of the vessel’s Safety Management System (SMS) against the standards in the VPIQ.
- Timely Compliance: Continuous monitoring and guidance to ensure requirements are implemented without delay.
- Performance Optimization: Identify gaps, enhance operational safety, and achieve excellence in environmental standards.
Through this approach, we ensure your vessel maintains a low observation score while meeting the stringent expectations of charterers and regulators—even when travel restrictions or operational barriers make physical inspections difficult.
