Commentary:
Many of IMO's most
important technical conventions contain provisions for ships to be inspected
when they visit foreign ports to ensure that they meet IMO requirements.
Port State Control (PSC) is
the inspection of foreign ships in national ports to verify that the condition
of the ship and its equipment comply with the requirements of international
regulations and that the ship is manned and operated in compliance with these
rules. (source - http://www.imo.org/)
PSC is very important
instrument in raising standards of Maritime Safety as well as it is an
important parameter in the risk assessment process.
IMRRA's April Data Screening Summary:
1,444
vessels were assessed by IMRRA in April 2017, among them 81 vessels with 599
deficiencies were recognized as vessels with poor results of PSC inspection
(equal 5 or more deficiencies). Among these 81 vessels, five vessels were recognized with detention.
Graphics below are based on number of vessels with
poor PSC results (Oil/Chemical Tankers, LPG/LNG, OBO vessels - 81 vessels in
total) that were screened, demonstrating the relationship between vessel age
and deficiencies. April
