Inspections now look for evidence, not ticks in a box
External inspections have become structured, question-based and evidence-led. Companies are expected to run their own audits and inspections to the same standard, and to trend what they find.
Inspectors work through a structured question set and record observations against the vessel's hardware, processes and the human element, so internal inspections need to look at the same things.
Dry bulk vessels are inspected against a defined questionnaire, and fleets that pre-inspect against the same chapters arrive better prepared.
Port State and Flag inspection outcomes affect targeting and vessel risk profiles, so finding and closing defects before arrival matters more than ever.
Terminals and charterers carry out their own checks, and the vessel has to be ready for each of them, not only the scheduled vetting.
Both expect planned internal audits and superintendent inspections, with findings analysed and used to improve the management system.
Internal audits are a standing ISM requirement, and the evidence behind each finding has to stand up to external verification.
What paper and spreadsheet inspections cost you
The inspection itself is rarely the problem. The hours before and after it are.
Generic checklists
Fixed checklists do not reflect the company's own SMS or the questions SIRE 2.0 and RISQ 3.2 will ask.
No connection on board
Many tools need the internet, so auditors write on paper and type the report again later.
Photos separated from findings
Pictures sit in a phone gallery or an email, not against the checklist point they prove.
Slow reports ashore
The office waits days for the audit report, so corrective action starts late.
No trend across the fleet
Each report is a document on its own, so repeat findings across vessels are hard to spot.
Printed checklists, cameras and a report typed afterwards — or inspect on the device, review ashore the same day
An inspection should produce its report as it is carried out, with the evidence attached.
What sets Inspect X7 apart for your fleet
Inspect X7 is shaped by a team that has carried out 550+ onboard sailing audits and pre-vetting inspections, so it is built around how inspections really happen on a ship.

Faster audits and fewer repeat findings
The return from Inspect X7 comes from reports that are finished on board, and from findings that are trended and closed before an external inspector finds them.
No report typing after the visit
Observations, pictures and signatures are captured in the app, so the audit report is ready when the inspection ends.
Corrective action starts sooner
Data is transferred ashore for review as soon as it syncs, so the office can act while the vessel is still in port.
Fewer repeat observations
Pre-inspecting against SIRE 2.0 and RISQ 3.2 chapters and trending results across the fleet shows where the same gaps keep appearing.
Trends you can see, on an app the crew will use
Inspect X7 turns every checklist answer into data, so patterns across vessels and inspections become visible in real time.
Real-time trending
Inspection results are trended in real time, showing which chapters, questions and vessels produce the most observations.
Linked to the standards
Checklists connected to the SMS and to SIRE 2.0 and RISQ 3.2 chapter lists let you compare internal results with what external inspectors will look at.
