As of July 3, 2024, Canadian vessels are required to implement a Safety Management System (SMS) under new Transport Canada regulations. Non-compliance can lead to fines of up to $250,000 per day, vessel detention, or loss of certification. The SMS helps ensure safety, reduce accidents, and improve operational efficiency. Vessel operators must act now to avoid penalties and ensure compliance.

Recent maritime incidents have underscored the need for stricter safety regulations and more effective audits. The *Dali* allision in Baltimore highlighted gaps in current safety practices, prompting calls for a reassessment of regulatory enforcement. With upcoming changes like the IMO's new IP Code, vessel operators must prioritize compliance to mitigate risks and enhance operational safety.

OCIMF has launched SIRE 2.0, a fully digitalized tanker inspection system that replaces the traditional paper-based methods. The new system tailors inspections to each vessel, focusing on real-time data collection, risk assessments, and human factors. With enhanced accuracy and detailed reporting, SIRE 2.0 sets a new benchmark for safety and operational efficiency in the maritime industry.
