VGP Routine Visual Inspection Log

Log of deficiencies and problems found during routine inspections, including a discussion of any corrective actions required. Include date, inspector’s name, findings, and corrective actions planned or taken. If no deficiencies or problems are found during a routine inspection, a record that the inspection was completed with the inspector’s name and date. Routine visual inspections must be recorded as completed and in addition to a routine inspection weekly or once per voyage, a ship’s watch must include visual monitoring of the water around and behind the vessel for visible sheens, dust, chemicals, abnormal discoloration or foaming, and other indicators of pollutants or constituents of concern originating from the vessel. Particular attention should be paid to deck runoff, ballast water, and bilge water. If pollutants or constituents of concern are determined to be originating from the vessel, corrective actions must be initiated. The VGP Routine Visual Inspection Log mobile app allows you to replace your paper log with a smartphone, tablet or desktop. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as vessel name, date of inspection, a summary of any potential problems and sources of contamination found and statement of any corrective actions needed, the name of the inspector and captures inspector's signature. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your marine vessels records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.
