ChevronTexaco Shipping Company LLC Clearance Process
ChevronTexaco Shipping Company LLC Onboard Inspection Program • Passing an onboard inspection does not guarantee acceptability for ChevronTexaco service. • Vessels without an inspection on file with SIRE are generally not acceptable. • ChevronTexaco participates in and fully supports OCIMF’s SIRE program. • The inspection performance of one ship can effect our view of the entire fleet. • We are working to keep the costs of inspections at a reasonable level.
