Common Marine Inspection Document

The Common Marine Inspection Document (CMID) aims to reduce the number of audits carried out on individual marine vessels through the adoption of a common auditing standard for the offshore marine industry. A competent and independent third party should complete the audit. As a 'living' document, the CMID can be kept updated on board, so that the time required for an audit can be reduced.
