The electronic Common Marine Inspection Document (eCMID) provides a standard format for inspection of offshore vessels, including large ships right down to smaller workboats under 24 metres.

The aim of the eCMID system is to provide three measures of vessel safety and environmental assurance. This includes:

• The safety of personnel
• The protection of the environment
• To visually assess the internal integrity of the vessel’s hull (watertight integrity)

The eCMID is regularly reviewed and updated in light of regulatory and technical developments.

The scheme first launched in 2015 after the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) appointed the International Institute of Marine Surveying (IIMS) to manage and deliver an accreditation programme for vessel inspectors and auditors.
