Guidance on the IMCA eCMID system
The IMCA eCMID system provides standard formats for the inspection and auditing of offshore vessels. Its use helps promote safety and efficiency and can help reduce the number of repeat inspections on individual vessels by providing a consistent, transferrable format which meets vessel operator and client requirements alike.
This document sets out all relevant IMCA policy and procedural guidance.
Further details on the eCMID system, plus user guides to the website and software, are available on our dedicated website – www.ecmid.com
