- Kaiko Systems, an AI-based maritime operations platform, has partnered with LNG shipping operator TMS Cardiff Gas.
- The aim is to integrate this technology into the entire fleet and, at the same time, optimise crew readiness for SIRE (Ship Inspection Report) 2.0 inspections.
Maritime operations platform Kaiko Systems has partnered with TMS Cardiff Gas to be integrated into its entire fleet to enhance the readiness of its crew for SIRE 2.0 inspections, reads an official release.
Ensuring compliance with the new standards
With the industry transitioning to a more rigorous and performance-driven inspection process, TMS Cardiff Gas was seeking a solution to assess preparedness and ensure compliance with the new standards. By integrating Kaiko Systems with its present fleet, TMS Cardiff Gas aims to enhance operational efficiency by streamlining pre-SIRE preparations, reducing the time and resources traditionally spent on manual reviews and training sessions.
One of the major concerns for shipowners and managers is ensuring that every crew member, regardless of their role or location, can participate effectively in pre-SIRE inspection preparations.
“Kaiko Systems will continue to foster continuous learning and accountability among the crew, contributing to long-term skill development as well as ensuring the likelihood of deficiencies or non-compliance issues during inspections is reduced,” said Fabian Fussek, Co-Founder and CEO, Kaiko Systems.
Commenting on the integration of Kaiko Systems to its fleet, Alexandros Politis-Kalenteris, Deputy COO, TMS Cardiff Gas, stated that the company was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the crew adapted to the system and embraced it as an important tool for professional development.
To remind, OCIMF’s Ship Inspection Report Programme (SIRE 2.0) was officially launched on 2 September 2024 which marked the end of a phased transition to the updated, enhanced and digitalised tanker inspection programme. The new programme is expected to revolutionise how the marine industry evaluates the safety and operational condition of tankers and their crews on an ongoing basis.
