Curated technical notes for shipowners, charterers and technical managers following inspection readiness, vessel vetting, Türkiye port calls, bunker operations and practical survey matters.
Bunker Operations
What an on/off-hire bunker and condition survey covers, how the attendance is carried out step by step, what owners and managers should prepare, and the disputes a joint record prevents.
Bunker Operations
Field-tested measurement cross-checks for bunker quantity — why single readings mislead, how tank design changes the picture, and where trim quietly distorts the numbers.
Technical Survey
An experienced surveyor's first-hour checklist for pre-purchase engine room visits — maintenance records, repeated defects, fresh paint, and what tidiness really signals.
SIRE 2.0
A practical, experience-based approach to engine crew readiness for SIRE 2.0 — daily awareness habits, learning from published remarks, and a one-month preparation sequence.
RightShip
A short technical note on vessel condition, crew familiarity and practical readiness before RightShip-related inspection activity.
SIRE 2.0
A practical technical note for vessel operators reviewing machinery space readiness before inspection-related attendance.
Port State Control
A practical note for vessels calling Türkiye ports, focused on common technical readiness and follow-up areas.
These notes are provided for general technical awareness only. They are not official notices, legal advice, class instructions, flag-state instructions, customs instructions, Port State Control instructions, or a substitute for the original authority/source document.
