The Importance of Safety Vetting Inspections (SVI™) in Today’s Shipping Industry

With increasing scrutiny from regulatory bodies, charterers, and terminal operators, vessels today must be consistently ready for inspection. Our Safety Vetting Inspections™ (SVI™) ensure that your assets are prepared—anytime, anywhere.

2.1 What is SVI™?

SVI™ is a structured vetting inspection service developed by Quality Marine Services, focused on ensuring operational and safety readiness. It covers key aspects of vessel performance, documentation, equipment condition, crew preparedness, and compliance with international and local regulations.

2.2 Why SVI™ Matters

• Regulatory Compliance: Port State Control (PSC), shippers, and terminals expect vessels to meet stringent safety standards.

• Risk Reduction: Proactive inspections reduce the risk of detentions, delays, and costly penalties.

• Crew Readiness: We ensure that the crew is familiar with safety drills, procedures, and critical onboard systems.

• Client Confidence: A well-maintained, inspection-ready vessel strengthens client trust and long-term business relationships.
