Good cooperation was provided by the ship’s crew however, no access was
granted to the cargo tanks or ballast tanks with assessment made from
previous inspection reports. The vessel was alongside, discharging at the time
of inspection.
The vessel was found to be in good overall condition with an Idwal Grade
above the average for vessels of a similar age, type and size but with a few
notable items found during the inspection. These are reported specifically in
the notable items section of this report.

The onboard management was found to be good with the Safety

Management system found to be well implemented and the vessel generally
good. The vessel was found to provide a safe working environment. The Port
State Control (PSC) history was found to be good with 12 deficiencies and 0
detentions in the 9 inspections conducted in the past three years.
Given the good condition of the vessel it is estimated that the OPEX levels are
likely to be as per industry norms for vessels of a similar age, type and size.

GRADING DATA
79 GRADE

The Idwal Grade® is an industry recognised measure of asset integrity. Using proprietary algorithms, the Idwal Grade is
programmatically calculated from over 500 individual data points, captured during a rigorous and standardised inspection
process. Our data-driven methodology ensures that our reports are consistent, accurate and free from bias.

SUB GRADES

The methodology used to calculate the Idwal Grade® is also applied to the grading of the different vessel areas and categories.
Two key areas are the overall vessel condition and vessel management:
