Özet
Maritime transportation is getting better day by day. In this transportation model, many different cargoes can be transported due to the different ships available. Transportation of chemical cargoes among these cargoes provides serious profits to the shipping company in terms of freight revenues. Especially operating tanker class ships and finding cargo for this type of ships is a difficult task. Ships go through a series of inspection procedures to transport these profitable cargoes. The official of these inspections are port state control and flag state control. Specially commissioned inspections are called Chemical Distribution Institute (CDI) and Ship Extended Reporting (SIRE). Thanks to these special inspections, the risk situations of the ships are evaluated by major oil companies and their suitability for cargo transportation is decided. In this study, the different reports of CDI inspections on ships were examined and it was examined which parts of the ship the deficiencies addressed most. Data analysis technique was used as the method. 520 reports from inspections carried out in the last 10 years were examined. According to the reports, the departments with the most deficiencies were the Machinery department with 14.7%, documentation and operation with 13.5%, and ship cargo operations with 13.2%. According to the results, it was emphasized that tanker operating companies and ship employees should pay attention to the sections where the most deficiencies occur during inspections.
