Training Objective
Join us for an intensive management workshop that will transform Your fleet’s approach from ‘ticking off checklists’ to a culture of ‘constant operational readiness.’ We go beyond conventional theory. We teach commercial PSC management strategies. We will equip Your Superintendents, Captains, and Managers with the knowledge to:
- Protect Revenue: Avoid off-hire periods and loss of charter opportunities caused by minor defects.
- Understand the Algorithm: Learn the rules of the New Inspection Regime (NIR) and discover how a ship’s age, type, and the shipowner’s history influence Your Ship Risk Profile (SRP).
- Stop the ‘Domino Effect’: Understand how the detention of a single ship lowers the entire shipowner’s rating (Company Performance), bringing more frequent inspections across Your entire fleet.
Intended for
- Shipowners and Ship Operators
- Designated Persons (DPA) and QHSE Managers
- Technical Superintendents–
- Captains, Chief Engineers, Senior Officers, Deck Officers, and Watch Engineers.
The program
The program focuses on high-risk areas that statistically most often lead to detentions:
The ‘First Impression’ Test
How to manage key moments – from the condition of the ramp to the inspector’s arrival. These moments determine whether the visit will result in a ‘clean’ report or escalate into a detailed inspection.
‘ISM Domino Effect’
The ISM Code is the most common cause of detentions. We will show You how inspectors link minor technical defects to evidence of a systemic failure in safety management.
Operational Readiness (Drills)
Best practices for testing crew competence. Learn how to flawlessly conduct fire drills and ship evacuation drills, which are now a standard element of inspections.
Future Challenges
Stay one step ahead of the competition. We will teach You how to prepare for inspections related to decarbonization (CII/EEXI indicators) and digitalization (Electronic Logbooks).
