About Sirtica

Why choose Sirtica?

Three things set our work apart: service excellence, delivered through comprehensive digital tools and dependable technical support; a commitment to sustainability, helping vessels improve energy efficiency and keep pace with environmental regulation; and a solution-driven approach that tailors practical recommendations to each vessel’s needs.

Who does Sirtica work with?

Shipowners, vessel owners and ship management companies. We work with partners across Cyprus, Germany and the UAE, and often provide independent technical oversight for owners whose fleets are managed by third-party ship managers.

What does Sirtica stand for as a company?

Our core values are empathy, integrity, trust, respect, safety and transparency. We believe that a happy crew means a safe ship, and we look after the well-being of our seafarers and their families.

RightShip Inspection

What does a RightShip pre-inspection assessment cover?

We assess the vessel’s condition, its safety management practices and how well it aligns with the applicable RightShip inspection criteria, before the formal inspection takes place.

How is a vessel graded after a RightShip inspection?

The vessel is assessed and graded on the severity of the observations recorded. Ratings run from 5 stars (low risk) to 4 stars (low-medium risk) and 3 stars (acceptable).

Why prepare before the formal inspection?

A pre-inspection assessment identifies potential deficiencies and the areas needing attention while there is still time to act on them, rather than discovering them during the inspection itself.

Vessel Assessment

What does a vessel inspection cover?

A comprehensive assessment of the vessel’s overall condition, its machinery and equipment, and the safety practices in place on board.

What do we receive afterwards?

Detailed findings written to support maintenance planning and vessel management decisions — the technical deficiencies, the maintenance gaps and the areas that need corrective action.

Is this useful between scheduled surveys?

Yes. The assessment is independent of any particular survey cycle, so it can be used whenever an owner or operator wants a clear picture of a vessel’s current condition.

Pre Vetting

What is a pre-vetting assessment?

A pre-inspection assessment of the vessel’s condition, maintenance standards, safety practices and ISM procedures, carried out ahead of a formal vetting.

Who carries out the vetting we are preparing for?

Vetting assessments are conducted by oil majors and other industry stakeholders. Our role is to prepare the vessel for that assessment, not to conduct it.

What does the owner get from it?

Identification of potential deficiencies ahead of the assessment, with practical recommendations to help prepare for it.

Pre Purchase Asset Evaluation

What does a pre-purchase inspection establish?

A detailed evaluation of the vessel’s technical condition, intended to support an informed purchase decision.

Does it give an indication of cost?

It covers existing defects, estimated rectification costs and the repairs anticipated during the next dry-docking, so the condition of the vessel can be weighed against what it will cost to put right.

Does it look beyond immediate repairs?

Yes. It reviews potential expenditure on major upgrades, including improvements to energy efficiency and environmental performance.

Dry Docking

What support is provided during dry-docking?

Technical planning and assessment of the vessel’s repair and maintenance requirements for the docking.

What gets identified in the work scope?

Hull, machinery and equipment repairs, along with the anticipated scope of work and the costs attached to it.

Can you help decide what to do first?

Yes. We support repair prioritisation and technical coordination so the docking can be planned to run smoothly.

Major Modifications

What kind of modifications does this cover?

Vessel upgrades focused on energy efficiency and environmental performance.

How is a proposed modification evaluated?

We assess the available options, the estimated expenditure, and the potential improvement to vessel efficiency and CII performance.

How does this relate to changing regulation?

We support owners in assessing which technical solutions are suitable for meeting evolving maritime regulations.

Ship Management

What does Sirtica’s ship management include?

Technical management, planned maintenance, procurement and troubleshooting, to keep vessels operating safely and efficiently.

Which vessel types do you manage?

Bulk carriers and tankers.

How are safety and compliance handled?

Our team oversees safety management and maintenance to keep vessels ready and compliant, and supports upgrades as industry standards change.
