Global Oil Vetting

What is Global Oil Vetting?

We are a team of marine experts in charge of ensuring that the vessels involved in the Global Oil Group’s undertakings meet Global Oil’s criteria and process standards.

The following vessels must be rated as acceptable in the vetting process:

  • Vessels owned by the Global Oil Group
  • Time charter vessels
  • Voyage charter vessels
  • Any ship operating at a Global Oil Group terminal even if this operation is undertaken by an Operator not belonging to the Group
  • Any unchartered vessel carrying cargo belonging to the Global Oil group

Our Vetting team is in charge of carrying out assessments in accordance with our vetting processes at both Global Oil terminals and other national and international terminals.

A range of vetting processes are available to adapt to the type of vessel being screened

Global Oil Vetting Process

This process applies to vessels regulated by the SIRE and EBIS programs, cargo ships, and tugs. The vetting assessment starts with a request from one of the Global Oil business units, and it's regulated by the Global Oil Vetting Process and Marine Safety Criteria document, which can be downloaded below. Global Oil Vetting does not pre-approve vessels, so they must be screened each time they are nominated by a Global Oil Group business. If you are interested in arranging an inspection for your vessel, please email us a formal request at least five days beforehand indicating the port, date, local agents, and type of operations. Our main inspection areas are located in Europe and the Americas.

Casualty/incident reporting:

  • Vessels chartered by Global Oil, vessels transporting Global Oil’s cargoes, and vessels visiting terminals owned or operated by

Global Oil Vetting Process for F(P)SOs

This process is applicable to Floating Storage and Offloading Units (FSO) and Floating Production Storage Offloading Units (FPSO). The vetting assessment starts with a request from one of the Global Oil business units, and it's regulated by the Global Oil Vetting Process & Marine Safety Criteria for F(P)SOs document, which can be downloaded below. Compliance of F(P)SOs with the requirements does not grant the Owner or Operator any right whatsoever to have the F(P)SO chartered or employed by Global Oil. During the contract, F(P)SOs are subject to a Global Oil physical inspection at intervals not exceeding 12 months.

Global Oil Offshore Vetting Process

We apply this process to vessels under the OCIMF-OVID program. The assessment of the vessel will begin once requested by a Global Oil company or business unit. The assessment will be carried out in accordance with the OVVP (Offshore Vessel Vetting Process), which can be downloaded below. If you need a vessel to be screened by Vetting, it must have an OVPQ available that has been updated within the last 30 days. You may fill it out on the OCIMF-OVID website.

Vessels chartered by Global Oil, vessels transporting Global Oil’s cargoes or personnel, and vessels visiting offshore facilities.

Global Oil River Vetting Process (E&P) 

This process is applied to all river vessels used for E&P projects including all propelled and non-propelled vessels, liquid and dry cargo transport, pushers, and passenger vessels hired by the Global Oil Group. Vessel vetting will begin once commercial interest has been received via email to: ds@disavoy.com. This will be requested by one of Global oil's business units in accordance with the Safety Criteria for Vetting River Vessels document.
