Overview
Maritime Expertise provides IMCA Common Marine Inspection Document inspections designed to support safety, consistency and efficiency while reducing unnecessary repeat inspections.
A CMID gives charterers and operators a common, structured view of a vessel's condition and management, so that one thorough inspection can serve several stakeholders instead of the vessel being inspected repeatedly to different formats.
Scope of work
- Vessel particulars and general information
- Previous inspections and outstanding findings
- Certification and statutory documentation
- Safety management systems and their implementation
- Crew management, competence and familiarisation
- Life-saving appliances
- Firefighting appliances
- Pollution prevention arrangements
- Deck, machinery and accommodation condition
- Relevant operational and safety areas for the vessel type
What we provide
Pre-inspection readiness review
Identification of likely findings before a client-commissioned inspection takes place.
Close-out support
Support with corrective action planning and evidence of close-out.
Combined attendance
CMID combined with DP audit or other scopes to reduce time on board.
Frequently asked
- Which vessels are CMID inspections applicable to?
- Offshore support vessels including ERRV, AHTS and OSV types, and DP vessels operating in the offshore sector.
- How long does a CMID inspection take?
- Typically a full working day on board, longer for larger or more complex vessels, or where the vessel is working cargo during the attendance.
- Does a CMID replace other inspections?
- It is intended to reduce duplication by giving multiple stakeholders a common report. Whether it satisfies a particular charterer's requirement is that charterer's decision.
- Can the inspection be done during operations?
- Partially, but access to spaces and crew availability governs how much can be completed. We agree realistic timing with the vessel before attendance.
- What happens to the findings?
- Findings are recorded with evidence and returned to the commissioning party, who manages close-out with the vessel.
