Ensure SIRE 2.0 compliance with new features in ISF Watchkeeper 3
The shipping industry is evolving, and with it, regulatory demands are becoming more stringent. SIRE 2.0, the latest update from the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF), has introduced a digitalised inspection protocol that transforms how tanker inspections are conducted. In response, ISF Watchkeeper 3, jointly owned by LR OneOcean and the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), has been enhanced with new features to ensure operators stay ahead of these new requirements.
What’s new in ISF Watchkeeper 3 for SIRE 2.0?
- Two-way synchronisation: This feature ensures real-time communication between vessels and shore offices, enabling seamless updates, acknowledgments, and collaboration across fleets. It enhances operational transparency and provides a strong foundation for efficient compliance management.
- Non-conformity (NC) acknowledgment: Fleet-wide visibility of non-conformities enables operators to track, acknowledge, and act on compliance issues efficiently. This feature helps improve planning, risk reduction, and alignment with SIRE 2.0 guidelines.
- Vessel event cross-checks: This feature improves accuracy and consistency in reporting, ensuring vessel events are thoroughly verified and compliant with SIRE 2.0’s rigorous inspection standards.
Why is this important for your fleet?
SIRE 2.0 is mandatory for all tanker fleets regulated by OCIMF, making compliance a critical priority for operators. The latest enhancements in ISF Watchkeeper 3 ensure that vessels meet these updated regulations while also improving communication and operational efficiency.
While SIRE 2.0 currently applies to tankers, ISF Watchkeeper 3 is fully equipped to support compliance if similar regulations are extended to other vessel types in the future.
Stay compliant, stay efficient, and ensure your fleet is ready for the future with ISF Watchkeeper.
