CDI 10th Edition Ship Inspection Report Revised Announcement

New Launch Schedule

Further to CDI’s earlier announcement dated 22nd August 2023, regarding the launch of the new
expanded 10th Edition Ship Inspection Report

CDI has received constructive feedback from all CDI Stakeholders to the previously released 10.4
Version of the 10th Edition Ship Inspection Report.

Consequently, following review of the feedback received it has been felt beneficial to incorporate
some of this feedback into the 10th Edition SIR ensuring an enhancement of the 10th Edition for all
users.

Therefore, CDI will be releasing an updated 10.5 version of the 10th edition Ship Inspection report on
the 28th November 2023, along with an accompanying list of the adjustments undertaken.

CDI recognises these changes has an impact on all stakeholders and following consultation the launch
of the 10th edition SIR is now deferred to the 5th February 2024, to allow additional lead time.

The primary elements of the 10th Edition SIR remain unchanged as follows;

At the request of CDI Chemical companies CDI-Marine has expanded its vessel type inspection scope
to also include LNG, Product and Dry Bulk, in addition to the current Chemical and LPG inspections.
This is to ensure that CDI’s marine inspection scope covers the entire chemical global supply chain.

1. 10th Edition SIR vessel Inspection Scope is expanded

The 10th Edition SIR is now produced in a single core questionnaire for all vessel types: with separate
vessel specific questionnaires for each vessel type i.e. all chapters in the 10th Edition SIR are generic
to all vessel types, except chapter 5 which includes 5 different designated chapter 5’s for the 5
different specific vessel types. Consequently, the following vessel types will exist in CDI-Marine:

• Chemical Tanker
• LPG Tanker
• LNG Tanker
• Product Tanker
• Dry Bulk Carrier

• For a Convertible/combination vessel types; combination tankers can be inspected as;

- Chemical tanker OR
- LPG tanker OR
- LNG tanker OR
- Product tanker OR
- Dry bulk carrier
(23rd November 2023)
A convertible / combination tanker will NOT be able to have a single joint inspection, i.e. a combined
chemical gas ship for example would require a chemical inspection and a separate gas inspection (if
they wished to have active reports for both ship types in the CDI-Marine database).

2. New environmental benchmarking facility (EEXI, EEDI, CII)

Existing benchmarking functionality will remain within CDI-Marine. However, a new environmental
benchmarking facility regarding EEXI, EEDI and CII will also be available for both ship operators and
charterers.

Allowing ship operators and chemical company members to analyse the environmental ratings of the
ship and ship operators fleet against all other (anonymous) ships available in the CDI-Marine
database.

This new benchmarking facility will have access to all the real-time data in the CDI-Marine system.
The reports used in the benchmarking will be based on the same questionnaire revisions, but the
benchmarking facility will be able to work with different questionnaire versions (in separate
benchmarking calculations).

3. The Revised 10th Edition SIR launch schedule is now as follows

(23rd November 2023)

Reminder regarding the Self-Inspection process.

• All CDI ships will continue to be eligible to complete the Self Inspection question sets in the
10th edition SIR, via a revised Online Self Inspection Document (Online SID).
• All SI (Self-inspection Questions) will continue to be indicated in the 10th edition SIR by SI.
• All the Inspection Questions will continue to be indicated in the 10th 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 from the 5th February 2024.
• 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.

NOTE: CDI is aware of other inspection system updates within the industry. Following review and
coordination CDI does not feel the 10th edition SIR schedule will create a clash with other industry
bodies plans. However, CDI will remain flexible and if necessary, CDI will adjust the 10th edition SIR
planned go live date should any industry clash occur.
