The Offshore Vessel Inspection Database (OVID) is a web-based tool developed to enhance the safety and efficiency of offshore vessel operations. It allows for the streamlined inspection and assessment of offshore vessels through a comprehensive database of inspection reports. This program, developed by OCIMF members, ensures that offshore vessels meet the highest safety and operational standards.

OVID aims to simplify the inspection process by providing a common format for reports, reducing redundancy and the need for multiple inspections. By providing quick access to credible vessel performance data, it speeds up the assurance checks during the chartering process. The system helps vessel managers showcase their vessels' capabilities and track any upgrades efficiently.

The benefits of OVID include improving the efficiency of pre-chartering evaluations, reinforcing the reputation of competent vessel operators, and contributing to safer offshore operations by ensuring compliance with international standards. Through this system, both vessel operators and oil companies can access accurate, up-to-date information, improving safety and operational reliability in the offshore sector.
