Transition of the 8th SIR edition to 9th edition SIR
Prior to the 2nd September 2019
CDI inspectors will be emailed instructions regarding the new 9th edition online inspector software
All inspection requests which have an appointed inspector prior to the 2nd September 2019 can be conducted under the 8th edition SIR with the existing CDI ISIS inspector software, (even if the inspection takes place after the 2nd September 2019), as long as them inspector has downloaded a blank 8th edition SIR report for the ship before the 2nd of September 2019.
CDI inspectors appointed by a ship operator prior to the 2nd September 2019 will only be able to download a blank 8th edition SIR from CDI with the existing CDI inspector software, (or alternatively they must wait until the 2nd of September to download a blank 9th edition report with the new CDI ISIS inspector online software).
After the 2nd September 2019
All inspection requests received by CDI from the 2nd September 2019 will only be processed as a 9th edition SIR.
CDI inspectors nominated by a ship operator after the 2nd September 2019 will only be able to download a blank 9th edition SIR from CDI with the new CDI ISIS 9th edition inspector online software.
Inspector downloaded 8th edition SIR (downloaded before the 2nd September 2019), but which complete inspection after the 2nd September 2019 can continue to be uploaded into the CDI ISIS database with the old 8th edition software, in the usual manner without restriction.
Reminder regarding the Self-Inspection process.
All CDI ships will continue to be eligible to complete the Self Inspection question sets from in the 9th edition SIR. However, in view of the new 9th edition SIR a revised Online Self Inspection Document (Online SID), will also be released closer to the launch date
All SI (Self-inspection Questions) will continue to be indicated in the 9th edition SIR by SI
All the Inspection Questions will continue to be indicated in the 9th edition SIR by I
All the Self-Inspection Questions will continue to be available in a free online web application known as the Online Self Inspection Document (Online SID). This will be available to access on the CDI web site free of charge a few weeks prior to the 2nd September 2019.
The ship operator will continue to be able to electronically complete the SID at any time and provide this to the CDI inspector in advance of the inspection, who will then import the fully completed online SID into his inspection report.
The CDI Inspector will continue to randomly sample 15% of the SI questions during his inspection.
Where an Inspector finds that the 15% random sample of SI questions have not been answered correctly, the Inspection will revert to a full inspection of the ship.
Therefore, Ships operators should not only complete a SID prior to the CDI inspection but ensure the SID is completed accurately as doing so will be hugely beneficial to the ship operator and the inspection process
It will be the responsibility of the Ship Operator to ensure that the Self-Inspection Document (SID) is provided to the Inspector prior to the inspection. Failure to provide a SID to the inspector will always result in a full inspection.
