Kaiko Systems adds OCIMF FIC support for tanker operators

Kaiko Systems has added the requirements of the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) Focused Inspection Campaign to its digital compliance platform, allowing tanker operators to standardise checks and monitor readiness for SIRE 2.0 inspections directly within the app.

The six-month campaign, which began on 1 October 2025, requires inspectors to verify vessel hardening and access control measures on every inspection. By incorporating the Focused Inspection Campaign (FIC) elements into its system, Kaiko says operators can improve crew familiarity with procedures and create greater consistency across fleets as regulatory expectations increase.

“The Kaiko platform helps embed readiness into daily routines,” said Nick Vaughan, Head of Maritime at Kaiko.

“With real-time visibility on crew checks and system status, operators can act fast and stay ahead of issues that impact inspection outcomes.”

“We fully support OCIMF’s latest campaign. It’s not just about ticking compliance boxes, it’s about building real operational resilience. The real challenge for shipowners is maintaining a consistent level of security preparedness every day, not just when an inspection is due.”

Kaiko is also assisting shipowners during the campaign with onboard training, SIRE-aligned templates and analytics to track trends at fleet level.
