Question 1

How soon before the official inspection should we book this?

Accepted Answer

Ideally with enough lead time to action findings — ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the scope of corrections needed.

Question 2

Does this replace the official SIRE inspection?

Accepted Answer

No, this is preparatory support only; the official inspection is conducted by an OCIMF-accredited inspector through the SIRE 2.0 programme.

Question 3

What do we receive afterward?

Accepted Answer

A prioritized findings report covering physical condition and operational/documentation gaps, ready for the crew and office to action.
