9.1 Ship Inspections
(a) As an active member of the OCIMF, ADNOC fully supports and participates in the OCIMF committees and forums.
(b) The ADNOC Ship Vetting Department applies the OCIMF “30 days inspection” rule, but nevertheless requires a vessel to undergo a fresh SIRE inspection prior to being considered for ADNOC Group business in the following cases:
- 其中一个容器没有SIRE报告中提供或者没有父辈检验报告小于六（6）个月;
- 如果容器有过技术管理，标志或类变化;
- 如果该容器已被拘留作为端口状态检查的结果;
- 如果船曾参与在过去六（6）个月的事件;
- 如果最新SIRE检查表明船舶或其设备或船员的条件不，在ADNOC看来，大幅满足其要求;和
- 如果以前访问任何石油港口或任何其他ADNOC集团设施中出现了有关船舶显著负反馈。
(c) Inspections may be conducted by ADNOC or any of the OCIMF Member Companies’ accredited SIRE inspectors, however, the ADNOC Ship Vetting Department reserves the right when it deems necessary to require an ADNOC vetting inspection.
(d) Inspections shall normally be carried out during cargo operations, and preferably during discharging operations. Bunkering operations by themselves shall not qualify the vessel as being in operational status.
(e) A one-off, limited validity for three (3) months may be granted for those inspections conducted in idle status, within which period an operational SIRE inspection report must be made available in the SIRE database for assessment.
(f) Ship vetting inspections will not include an inspection of the ship’s structure but will include a review of the structural details through Class reports.
(g) Inspections required for vetting purposes must be carried out by inspectors, accredited for the type of ship by OCIMF-SIRE as appropriate.
(h) It is in the ADNOC Group’s sole discretion whether to charter vessels rated as acceptable by the ADNOC Ship Vetting Department.
(i) Neither the ADNOC Group nor any of its employees, agents or contractors, shall be under any liability whatsoever to any ship owner, operator or third party by reason of acceptance/non-acceptance of a particular vessel.
(j) Vetting acceptance and validity shall not be considered as a blanket approval as it might be affected by the following factors:
- 业主/经营者的个人资料;
- 终端和操作反馈，市场情报，伤亡数据，PSC检查和由ADNOC船舶审批部门掌握的其他资料;
- 改变在容器中的条件状态;和
- 未来的国际或国内立法的变化和/或本标准中的任何改变。
(k) Ship owners shall pay the vetting inspection costs as per the tariff listed in Appendix 1 of this Standard. This tariff may be revised without any notice from time to time as per the decision of ADNOC’s CEO.
9.2 Oil Tankers, Chemical tankers and Gas Carriers
（一）正如上文所述，审查将主要基于最新SIRE检查报告的OCIMF-SIRE系统上可用的OCIMF成员公司的评估，提交一（1）。
(b) Only SIRE reports downloaded directly from the OCIMF-SIRE database, by the ADNOC Ship Vetting Department may be utilized for assessment purposes.
(c) If there is no SIRE ship inspection report available in the SIRE system, the vessel will need to be inspected by one (1) of the accredited SIRE inspectors.
(d) Reports furnished by ship owners, operators, charterers, cargo owners or obtained from sources other than OCIMF-SIRE shall not be considered.
(e) The SIRE inspection must have been completed within the last six (6) months and preferably during cargo discharge operations.
(f) Vessels shall be granted acceptance based on the outcome of the assessment.
(g) The vessels’ age will be instrumental in determining the frequency of assessments.
(h) In the event of any outstanding observations, the ADNOC Ship Vetting Department will normally correspond with the ship’s operators to determine if these have been satisfactorily closed out. If deemed necessary, the ship will need to be inspected by one (1) of OCIMF accredited inspectors or specifically by ADNOC inspectors.
9.3 Dry Cargo Ships
(a) Acceptance of bulk carriers, general cargo, dry cargo, RORO and container ships will be based on an assessment of the most recent available records from maritime intelligence information sources, PSC records and historical terminal feedback reports.
(b) An assessment will be conducted prior to each and every call, and acceptance will be based on “clean” historical vessel performance records, including but not limited to PSC detention and casualty/incident records.
(c) Acceptance will be subject to satisfactory outcome of a physical inspection by PPA personnel or their appointed representatives upon arrival and prior to berthing.
(d) Changes in national or international regulations, or changes to ADNOC policies or specific internal requirements may lead to rejection of previously accepted ships.
9.4 Passenger/ Cruise Vessels/Ferries
(a) PPA will permit only those passenger vessels which are inspected and accepted by the ADNOC Ship Vetting Department prior to calling at any of the Petroleum Ports or within its Port Limits.
(b) ADNOC ship vetting inspections will only be planned and conducted following a request from vessel owners and following their acceptance of the ADNOC Ship Vetting Terms and Conditions. Inspections must be carried out by inspectors approved by and acceptable to the ADNOC Ship Vetting Department and must follow the procedures laid out in the ADNOC Ship Vetting System.
(c) In the event of any high risk observations being raised during the initial inspection, follow-up inspections shall be conducted on board the vessel to verify satisfactory close-out.
(d) High risk observations will not be limited to the vessel’s condition and/or operations. Other factors related to the owners and/or operators and/or crew/passengers will also be considered and assessed on a case-by-case basis.
(e) Should the vessel fail to prove completion of corrective actions and close-out of any high risk observations to the ADNOC Ship Vetting Department’s satisfaction, during the follow-up inspection, a new cycle of full inspection and follow-up shall be required.
(f) Should a vessel fail to achieve acceptance after the second cycle of inspection, the vessel shall be considered as a high risk and be banned for three (3) months from the date of the second follow-up inspection.
(g) Upon completion of the period of three (3) months, should the vessel be nominated again, a fresh full inspection shall be conducted.
(h) Vetting approval and validity shall be granted to the vessels based on the inspection outcome, which will vary dependent on the observations risk level.
