Article By:test user

Port State Control has been found to be a very effective tool in reducing the number of substandard ships as well as improving maritime safety and pollution prevention.  There has been a significant increase in PSC activity worldwide in concert with a number of amendments to relevant international conventions.

PSC inspection procedures have been improved to cover not only ships’ hardware or documents, but also the operational requirements of the relevant conventions or shipboard maintenance under the ISM Code.

Please find below the photographs of deficiencies identified during port state control, as published by ClassNK in its port state control Annual report.
