OCIMF is a voluntary association of oil companies having an interest in the marine transportation and terminalling of crude oil,
liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, their derivatives and related organic compounds. Essentially, it is concerned
with the safe conduct of these operations and the prevention of pollution. It represents its membership before intergovernmental,
governmental and other organisations. OCIMF is incorporated in Bermuda with a branch office in London. The current membership of
OCIMF embraces 105 companies and groups worldwide.
The Offshore Vessel Inspection Database (OVID) has been developed by OCIMF in response to a request from its members to provide a
database of offshore inspections broadly following the format of SIRE. Recognition that the offshore industry has different processes
and procedures than the tanker world for assurance and chartering has been taken into account.
The aim of OVID is to provide a robust web based inspection tool and database of inspection reports; that is underpinned with
professional, trained and accredited inspectors. In the long term it is an aspiration that OVID will form a platform that is
central to the selection and assurance of offshore vessels enhancing the safety of operations in the industry.
From 16 January 2017 OCIMF will offer access to the OVID programme to non-OCIMF member companies for the first time. This new
group of users will be called OVID Programme Recipients. The OVID Programme Recipient category will be open to stakeholders in
the offshore support vessel industry that share OCIMF’s concerns for marine safety and pollution prevention, and either charter
offshore vessels in support of their operations or have offshore vessels operating at their facilities.
