OCIMF Matrix & Vetting

Oil major vetting readiness with SIRE 2.0, CDI, TMSA 3.0 compliance checks and officer competency matrix calculations.

For tanker operators, vetting readiness is a commercial imperative. E-CMS provides purpose-built tools to ensure your fleet meets the crew-related requirements of oil major vetting inspections at all times.

SIRE 2.0 Support

The module supports the SIRE 2.0 (Ship Inspection Report Programme) digital inspection questionnaire format. Crew-related SIRE questions are mapped to E-CMS data fields, enabling pre-inspection verification that all required crew documentation, experience records, and training certificates are in order.

CDI & TMSA 3.0

CDI (Chemical Distribution Institute) requirements and TMSA 3.0 (Tanker Management and Self Assessment) elements related to crew competency, training, and manning are tracked within the system. Compliance gaps are highlighted with recommended corrective actions.

Officer Competency Matrix

The OCIMF officer competency matrix calculates compatibility scores for officer teams, checking that relief patterns maintain acceptable experience overlap. When planning crew changes, the system warns if a proposed replacement would reduce the vessel's matrix score below acceptable thresholds.

Matrix Export & Crew Composition Snapshots

Officer matrices can be exported in Q88 XML format for manual upload or direct submission via API, and as XLSX for download. Crew composition snapshots are stored for future reference and audit trail purposes. Alcohol policy compliance tracking satisfies TMSA requirements for substance abuse prevention programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the OCIMF competency matrix?
The OCIMF (Oil Companies International Marine Forum) competency matrix defines minimum experience and training requirements for officers serving on tanker vessels. It is a key element of the TMSA (Tanker Management and Self Assessment) programme and is scrutinised during SIRE 2.0 vetting inspections.
How does E-CMS ensure OCIMF matrix compliance?
E-CMS maps each officer's sea service, training records, and certifications against OCIMF requirements in real time. Before any crew change, the system validates that the proposed officer meets the matrix — flagging gaps before they become vetting observations.
What changed with SIRE 2.0 for crew compliance?
SIRE 2.0 introduced a risk-based inspection methodology where crew competence is assessed through scenario-based questioning rather than document checklists. This means crew must genuinely understand procedures, not just hold the right certificates. E-CMS supports this by linking training records and evaluations to the competency matrix.
Does E-CMS support TMSA 3 requirements?
Yes. E-CMS covers TMSA Element 3 (Recruitment and Management of Shore-based and Sea-going Personnel) by tracking recruitment pipelines, competency assessments, performance evaluations, and training completion — all linked to the OCIMF matrix for tanker operations.
