Under SIRE 2.0, what is a "CVIQ" and why does it differ between two inspections of the same vessel?

A. A checklist the Master fills in himself before the inspector arrives, replacing the inspection

B. The Compiled Vessel Inspection Questionnaire — an algorithm-generated set of roughly 100 questions for that specific inspection, built from a fixed pool of "Core" questions (always included) plus rotating "Rotational" questions, so consecutive inspections of the same ship are not identical

C. The same fixed 50 questions used for every tanker inspection worldwide

D. A certificate proving the vessel passed its previous SIRE inspection, valid for one year

A. Vetting ratings only affect the vessel's insurance premium, never its ability to trade

B. Major charterers, oil companies, and terminals routinely use vetting ratings as a screening gate before fixing a vessel — a poor rating can mean the ship is simply not offered cargo by that counterparty, regardless of whether it is technically seaworthy or compliant with PSC requirements

C. There is no commercial consequence; vetting ratings are purely internal record-keeping with no effect on chartering decisions

D. A poor vetting rating automatically triggers a PSC detention

A. A detainable deficiency only affects future inspections, not the current port call

B. The vessel is detained — prohibited from sailing until the deficiency is rectified and re-inspected (or, for some items, until the next port if a safe-passage exemption is granted), with the detention publicly recorded against the vessel and company

C. The vessel may continue trading immediately as long as the Master signs a statement promising to fix the issue later

D. Detention only applies to passenger vessels, not cargo or tank vessels
