CDI Released HVPQ 5.1 for Operators

Posted on July 9, 2015

CDI Marine Ship Operator HVPQ 5.1 software is now available for download with immediate effect for installation and use:
The revision in oil tanker chapter 9 (cargo) relates to cargo pumps and is for SIRE purposes and this new section contains three additional questions within a grid :
9.16.1 Cargo Pumps (table grid)
9.16.2 Stripping Pumps (table grid)
9.16.3 Ballast Pumps (table grid)
This software update also now includes a change in the ship type variant for CDI purposes. This is to ensure the capture of all relevant data and will assist in simplifying the import/export of HVPQ 5 data between the CDI and SIRE databases;
• CDI Ship Operators are now able to import into the CDI database the “Oil/Chemical” Tanker Ship Type Variant HVPQ
• CDI Ship Operators completing an “Oil/Chemical variant ” HVPQ will now see all current Chemical questions plus the oil tanker questions 9 to 9.15.20.6; plus the OCIMF pumping questions in section 9.16
• CDI Ship Operators still have the choice to submit HVPQ’s based on the existing “chemical ship type variant” (with the old HVPQ 5.0 software version), for a tentative period of 4 months, into the CDI database.
• However ship operators submitting a HVPQ into the CDI database should note that the “Oil/Chemical variant” is now preferred by CDI with immediate effect .
1st November 2015: CDI Ship Operators completing “chemical ship type variant” HVPQ’s will not be able any more to submit these HVPQs to the CDI database, the “Oil/Chemical variant” will however be accepted by both CDI and OCIMF.
The transition period will be closely monitored by CDI and a period of 4 months will be allowed (1st July to 1st November). However, following a review of the transition progress by CDI an announcement will be made if the transition schedule is to be extended.
