Ship Vetting• Each ship vetted is given an Inspection Assessment
Rating
• The minimum IAR to be accepted for a spot voyage
is 70 out of a maximum 100.

How is the IAR calculated
• It is a figure from 1 to 100
• Forty percent of the value is determined by Vela’s rating of the owner.
• Sixty percent of the value is determined from our rating of the latest Vela Inspection or SIRE report
