  8. PORT STATE CONTROL Need For Control 1. To complement Flag state implementation 2. Vessels do not call at Flag state regularly 3. Difficult to appoint inspectors or recognized organizations at foreign port

  9. 4. Breakdown of equipment in-between surveys may occur. 5. Prevent operation of sub-standard ships while avoiding competition between ports 6. Contribute towards : a) increased level of safety (SOLAS) b) protection of marine environment c) improved living conditions

  12. WHAT IS A SUBSTANDARD SHIP  ‘Substandard’ is defined in IMO Resolution A.787(19) as being ‘substantially below the standards required’ but is interpreted to widely varying degrees from one organisation to another.

  13. They also know that substandard ships don’t just happen ! It is a commercial decision by someone somewhere

  14. PORT STATE CONTROL Examples of More Detailed Inspections  General inspections of the state of engine room & presence of traces of oil in bilges.  Ship’s routine of disposing oil- contaminated water from engine room spaces.  Closer examination of ship’s equipment  Check for any unapproved modifications made to equipment & system.

  15. PORT STATE CONTROL Invalid certificates or ship/equipment do not correspond to certificates •  Under the provisions of the Conventions port State may : • * Detain a ship until deficiencies have been rectified • * A vessel is detained when a deficiency is found which • must be rectified before it sails. • * Permit a ship to sail with deficiencies subject to • conditions

  16. PORT STATE CONTROL Avoid unduly detaining or delaying ships  If equipment/system can be shown onboard and functional.  If alternative equipment can be used.  If deficiencies does not affect safety nor caused harm to environment.  If the ship can be allowed to sail to the next nearest port for rectifying deficiencies.

  17. Key Questions on I.S.M (Vis-a-vis PSC)1. N.C. reports of last one year & C A taken.2. Records of Internal audits carried out.3. Report of Master’s review & action taken by DP/Company.

  18. Involvement of classification society as a result of identification of ISM-Code- related deficiency during PSC Inspections.Case reference :Name of ship : FAL XVIIIType of Ship : Oil TankerIMO No. : 6402705Flag of the Ship : U.A.E.Name of ISM Auditors : Bureau VeritasThe seriousness of the deficiencies noted during PSC Inspection necessitated a verification audit by the Class Concerned

  19. Major N.Cs – 3 nos. On ISM Code references : (1) 10.2 : Maintenance; (2) 6.5 : Training; & (3) 6.0 : Resource & PersonnelN.Cs – 5 nos.On ISM Code references : (1) 12.1 : Company Verification;(2) 10.2 : Maintenance; (3) 12.0 : Company Verification & review;(4) 7.0 : Shipboard Operation & (5) 10.3 : Maintenance of critical equipment.

  20. SUMMARY OF PORT STATE CONTROL INSPECTION OF VESSELS FROM JULY 1999 TO June 2000 BY PSCOs OF MERCANTILE MARINE DEPARTMENT, MUMBAI.

  21.  Unnecessary inspection of “good ships” are avoided, thereby the crew are not unduly disturbed and are able to do their routine work, and are also able to enjoy rest and recreation while the ship is in port.

  22.  A PSCO’s precious time and effort is not unnecessarily wasted. Well maintained ships, will inspire confidence of prospective clients. “Sub-standard” ships and their operators will be forced to take immediate corrective measures to remain in business.

  23. The PSC regime of Mercantile Marine Department, Mumbai, has achieved this objective to a large extent, as can be seen from the following table which indicates the results of the last 12 months with an overall average detention rate of 78.5%. We have been able to achieve this by constantly enhancing the skills of our PSCOs by continuous advice and instructions and “peer review” of their inspection reports.

  34. Notes : • Deficiencies are counted in the manner that deficiencies under the same sub-item are counted individually, e.g.3 deficiencies under code number 0711 and 2 deficiencies under code number 0740 are counted as 5 deficiencies under the main item 0700. • The table lists the societies with which the ships are classed. The defects for which a ship is detained are not always associated with items, which are under survey by a classification society.

  40. PORT STATE CONTROLA VIEW POINTRegulatory Bodies IMO Global Reactive and slow Class (IACS) Global Reactive and Pro-active EU Regional Reactive, but quick Flag States National Reactive/Pro-active Port States National/ Reactive Regional Trend in legislation : “National” driving “Regional” driving “Global”

  41. Port State Regime • Targeting of high risk ships. • Mandatory inspection every 12 months of certain ship types. More than 2 detentions in 1 year may lead to access refusal. • Information to Flag and Class mandatory • Information and Transparency • Ship/owner/cargo reporting prior arrival. • Previous survey by PSC/Class reported • Corrective actions follow-up by PSC and CS

  42. Flag State Regime • Reliance upon recognised organisations. • Continuous improvement of class performance • Suspension if non-compliant or non-improving • Only exclusive surveyors for Flag State surveys • Professional liability, limited financial liability • TOCA (Transfer of Class Agreement) part of Directive

  43. Complementary Future Proposals • EQUASIS ship information database. Active since 01.06.2000. Reports/data/facts. No analysis. • Strengthened Vessel Traffic Management • A European Maritime Safety Agency. Supervision of National Mar. Adm.
