  2. Operational Issues in relation to PSC • – the industry perspective Summary: • PSC is actively supported by industry • More needs to be done to ensure harmonised standards • Greater sharing of inspection records would be beneficial • It is an imperative that the integrity of PSC is maintained • Better targeting would result from additional analysis of PSC records • Important lessons can be learned by analysing PSC performance • Industry is committed to working with PSC

  3. Operational Issues in relation to PSC • – the industry perspective PSC RECORDS: • Used by charterers (brokers and agents) • Used by media • Used in assessments by flags, insurers and others • Used as membership criteria by associations

  5. Operational Issues in relation to PSC • – the shipowners’ perspective Need to ensure: • Harmonised standards and training of inspectors • Better / more rational targeting • Consistency in grounds for detention, naming of charterer, appeals procedure, etc. • Development of rewards / incentives

  6. Operational Issues in relation to PSC • – the shipowners’ perspective Need to ensure integrity of system: • ”Overly enthusiastic” inspectors • ”Selective” targeting • ”Soft option or easy” targeting • ”Malpractice” - self interest or third party interest • BUT Not all owners are ”guilt free”

  7. Operational Issues in relation to PSC • – the shipowners’ perspective Ideas to ensure integrity of system: • Regular and open dialogue between responsible owners and PSC officials • Development of ”best practices” within PSC regimes, e.g. With leadership from Paris MoU • Appropriate mechansims for confidential feedback • Reports back to IMO of PSC performance
