Marine Assurance Clearance Process
There are no standing approvals. Vessels are assessed
(SIRE and CDI Inspections) at the time of nomination, for
each and every nomination.
Clearance Decisions are always made within the context
of the nominated transaction.
We consider the absence of information as potentially
increased risk!
Operator performance weighs heavily into the Clearance
decision.
Human error is the big issue! We look carefully at officer
and crew experience and competence.
We look carefully at quality of and compliance with
onboard procedures. (SIRE and CDI Inspections)
Alternatives are frequently considered.
