Inspection management
Vessel Inspection Management Software for Maritime Fleets
PRIME Marine Inspection Management is a dedicated vessel inspection module within PRIME Marine Vessel Management Software. It helps maritime fleets plan, conduct and manage vessel inspections through digital checklists, findings, photographic evidence and corrective actions. Crews work through checklists onboard, record findings and capture supporting evidence, while inspection information stays connected with shore-based teams.
- SIRE 2.0, Port State Control and vetting preparation templates
- Offline mobile inspections, synchronised when connectivity returns
- Photographic evidence captured against the finding it supports

Manage vessel inspections from planning to closure
Inspection management involves more than completing a checklist. Teams need to identify deficiencies, record what they find, capture supporting evidence and make sure outstanding actions receive attention. PRIME Marine Vessel Management Software provides a structured digital workflow for planning, conducting, documenting and following up on vessel inspections.
Inspect
Work through the checklist onboard, online or offline.
Record findings
Deficiencies, comments and photographs captured as they arise.
Take action
Findings connected to corrective actions with named owners.
Verify & close
Progress followed through to resolution and closure.
That helps crews complete inspection records onboard while giving shore teams visibility of inspection readiness and outstanding deficiencies across the fleet.

How it works
Prepare your fleet for PSC, vetting and SIRE 2.0
An external inspection measures a condition that was built over the preceding months. These five areas are where that condition is made.
Build digital vessel inspection checklists
Different vessels, inspection types and company procedures may require different checklists. PRIME Marine Inspection Management lets teams create and manage digital inspection checklists and templates for different vessel requirements.
Companies can use their own templates or relevant pre-built templates based on industry requirements, including SIRE 2.0 and PSC focus areas. Digital checklists give crews a structured way to work through inspection requirements, record comments and document findings as they inspect. Supporting information stays connected to the inspection record.
- Configurable checklists and templates per vessel and inspection type
- Your own templates, or pre-built ones based on industry requirements
- Built and managed through Forms Manager
Conduct vessel inspections from onboard
Inspection workflows need to work where crews carry out their duties, including vessels with limited internet connectivity. PRIME Marine supports mobile inspection workflows, so crews and inspection teams conduct inspections directly onboard.
- Work through digital inspection checklists
- Record findings and deficiencies as they are identified
- Add comments and observations
- Capture photographic evidence
- Continue when connectivity is limited, and synchronise later
Inspection evidence is most useful when it stays connected to the finding it supports. Crews document a deficiency at the point of inspection rather than organising the supporting evidence separately afterwards. Findings and evidence stay in the same workflow instead of spreading across emails and documents.
Prepare for SIRE 2.0 with digital inspection workflows
SIRE 2.0 preparation involves detailed inspection requirements and organised supporting evidence. PRIME Marine provides detailed digital SIRE 2.0 templates that can be used for internal pre-vetting inspections.
Crews and inspection teams work through inspection questions, record findings and capture supporting evidence while inspecting the vessel. That provides a structured way to review vessel conditions and identify areas requiring attention before the external SIRE 2.0 inspector arrives.
- Detailed digital SIRE 2.0 templates for internal pre-vetting
- Findings and evidence captured during the inspection, not after it
- Ziera Shipping reports a 25% average reduction in external SIRE 2.0 observations and 60% less pre-vetting preparation time
Prepare for Port State Control and vetting inspections
Port State Control inspections can identify deficiencies that require timely attention from vessel and shore teams. PRIME Marine supports PSC preparation through structured inspection checklists and digital workflows.
Crews conduct internal checks, record findings, capture supporting evidence and move deficiencies into corrective actions. Shore teams then review the recorded information and coordinate follow-up before an external inspection.
Vetting preparation asks teams to review vessel conditions, identify potential observations and organise supporting evidence. Pre-vetting inspections follow the same digital workflow: structured questions, recorded findings and captured evidence, with shore teams reviewing and coordinating the follow-up. Scheduled, unscheduled and pre-inspection checks all run the same way.
Identify and track vessel inspection findings
An inspection finding is only useful if the team can see what needs to happen next. PRIME Marine connects findings and deficiencies with corrective actions, so responsible teams follow what needs completing and what remains outstanding.
The trail runs from finding identified, to corrective action assigned, to action followed up, to finding resolved. That helps superintendents keep inspection deficiencies visible across vessels and gives onboard and shore teams a clearer view of outstanding actions.
Individual findings can reveal wider patterns across vessels, equipment or operational areas. Rather than reviewing records one vessel at a time, shore teams use fleet-level information through Analytics & KPIs to identify recurring deficiencies and decide where further action is required.
Connected modules
Connect inspection management with your vessel operations
Inspection findings rarely exist in isolation. They connect with risk management, controlled documents, safety processes and other QHSE workflows inside PRIME Marine Vessel Management Software.
Risk Assessment
Connect findings with assessments and review controls where operational risks change.
Audit Management
Bring audit and inspection activity into one connected QHSE workflow.
Document Management
Connect findings with relevant procedures and controlled documents.
Event Reporting
Follow incidents and findings through investigation and corrective action.
Safety Drills
Connect inspection readiness with onboard drills and practical safety activities.
Relevant findings and lessons can also be shared fleet-wide through Circulars & Bulletins.
