In the maritime industry, safety and efficiency are of utmost importance. The Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) plays a significant role in ensuring the safe and environmentally responsible transportation of oil, gas, and chemicals through its rigorous inspection and survey processes. In this blog, we will explore the evolution of OCIMF and the transition from traditional pen and paper-based surveys to the digital era, specifically focusing on SIRE 2.0 inspections. 

In the vast expanse of the maritime industry, where ships traversed oceans and connected nations, the safety and well-being of the crew were often overlooked. In the early days, there were no regulations to mandate rest hour recording, leading to severe accidents caused by crew fatigue. However, with the introduction of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC), the tides began to change, ensuring that companies now record rest hours to maintain compliance and prioritize crew welfare. Today, digitalization has further revolutionized rest hour recording, making it easier than ever before. In this blog, we delve into the journey from a reckless past to a responsible present and highlight how Vedam's innovative software has played a significant role in streamlining rest hour management.

In the realm of offshore engineering, where the operational lifespan of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units is pivotal, a strategic approach becomes paramount. Our latest technical exploration delves into the advanced domain of global spectral Fatigue Analysis (FDA L2 & L3) , unlocking the key to FPSO life extension.
