Review before every port call. Verify all certificates are valid. Brief crew on likely inspection areas for this port's MOU focus campaigns. Ensure the bridge, engine room, and accommodation are clean and inspection-ready.
A pre-arrival preparation checklist for ship masters and officers verifying readiness for a Port State Control inspection. Covers certificate validity, crew documentation and qualifications, safety equipment condition, MARPOL environmental compliance, ISM Code implementation, Maritime Labour Convention conditions, and the operational readiness items that PSC inspectors commonly check during initial and expanded inspections.
Port State Control inspections can result in detention — holding the vessel in port until deficiencies are corrected. Detentions cost thousands in daily delays and appear permanently in public databases, affecting charter hire rates and P&I insurance premiums. This checklist ensures the vessel is ready to pass inspection at any port call.
