Sažetak
LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) ships, due to their cargo, represent potential source of danger to environment, personnel and property. To avoid potential disaster, high safety standards are introduced to that part of the shipping industry, and all LNG ships are subject to frequent inspections and vettings. Ship inspection control should not be a purpose in itself, but the aim is to eliminate any deficiencies in a quality and timely manner. Frequency of ship inspections should be strictly monitored, too many inspections will have inverse effect on the ship’s safety record, i.e. too many inspections will decrease overall safety. This paper analyses the inspection and vetting data of a particular LNG shipping company which is a member of INTERTANKO (the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners), showing that non mandatory inspections promote company overall quality records. The research concludes that the SIRE (Ship Inspection Report Program) is a unique tool for risk evaluation and for conducting inspections by the CDI (Chemical Distribution Institute) which helps LNG shipping companies to reach the set standards and legal frameworks.. The satisfactory results of the inspections also stimulate progress in a safety system and environmental protection without neglecting the need to achieve the company's goals.
