For AVIs, it will not just be a reactivated vessel that is there for your inspection, but a highly efficient and well trained crew to help you in any way they can.
GETTING DOWN TO THE SURVEYS NEEDED
Our own research determined that if a vessel has been laid up for less than 12 months, only overdue surveys need to be carried out; with a condition survey for ships that have not been preserved.
For vessels laid up for more than 12 months, it is agreed that all overdue surveys must be undertaken, sea trials should be held, and that some postponement may be possible for bottom, tail shaft, and machinery.
In the case of long lay-ups with no preservation or maintenance an extended scope of survey is required.
We are confident that use of the reactivation information note by the Marine Superintendent and his team leading up to your visit will enable you to be optimistic about what you will find onboard, and serve as a useful aide memoire for you too.
Revision 11 of IMCA’s Common Marine Inspection Document (CMID), due to be published by October, will include a new supplement on vessel reactivation from layup featuring 19 questions; again something designed to assist AVIs.
CAN WE ASK A FAVOUR?
We need your help please. You can assist IMCA by encouraging those on board all DP vessels that you inspect, to use the IMCA DP Station Keeping Event reporting scheme. Reporting events is not a blame game but instead enables the experience of others to be used within risk assessment, and enables all to learn from each other’s’
experiences. There are three clear reporting categories - DP incident, DP undesired event, and DP observation - ranging from major to something relatively minor worth sharing.
The online form is intuitive and thus simple and easy to use. The anonymity of participants is protected and the feedback to industry is prompt and unbiased. Following review by IMCA’s Marine DP Committee the DP Station Keeping Event Bulletin is issued quarterly to vessel operators and training establishments; and once a year the Annual Review of DP Station Keeping Events is issued. This is a spreadsheet containing details of all received reports that allows the owners and operators of
DP vessels to easily compare events with their onboard situation.
Those contributing reports are issued with a Certificate of Participation & Industry Leadership for display onboard their vessels. The more reports we receive on events, however seemingly minor, the safer the industry will be. Equally we encourage participation in the IMCA Safety Flash scheme. The scheme has been in operation for more than 20 years and is unparalleled in the offshore industry. Safety alerts are provided by IMCA members and from other leading offshore organisations – again all such reports are kept anonymous, and prove vital for keeping personnel and equipment safe.
