What is Water Compliance Testing for Shipping?
Vessel owners and vessel managers must not only make the investments required to comply with regulations such as CII / EEXI or the Ballast Water Management Convention, they are also in need of qualified service-providers to test or evaluate their vessels’ compliance. Vessel owners will need services for: D-2 Commissioning Testing, WHO drinking water regulation, VGP 2013 Monitoring as well as Scrubber Wash Water Testing, depending on the specifics of each vessel and its voyage schedule. But how to select the right one? Which factors other than price should you to consider?
Why is it important to consider more aspects than just pricing when choosing your Service-provider?
The answer is simple, it will save you costs, time and frustration, and avoids setting yourself up for a failed test. By looking at the service offering in an organized and structured manner we can split the service-process into 3 elements:
- Thorough preparation – before the service is rendered
- Compliant delivery – the delivery of the service itself, and
- Smooth completion – after-care, including invoicing and reporting.
