In plain terms

What is Port State Control?

It is the inspection of foreign ships in port, checking they meet the big international rules: SOLAS, MARPOL, MLC and the rest. There is no score. Each ship carries a risk profile instead, and every clean inspection lowers it while every deficiency raises it.

Inspections are targeted, and the same items come up year after year.

Certificates and records

Statutory certificates, the Oil and Garbage Record Books, and ISM and MLC paperwork that matches the logs.

Fire safety

Doors and dampers working, extinguishers in date, escape routes clear.

Life-saving gear

Lifeboats and davits tested, suits and lifejackets accounted for, EPIRB in date.

The crew

Whether the team can run a drill and work the equipment, not just point to the manual.

FAQ

Questions,answered.

Does Fleetward guarantee I will pass a PSC inspection?

No, and be wary of anyone who claims that. It helps you find and fix the avoidable problems before the inspector does, which is where most deficiencies come from.

Does PSC give my ship a score?

No. PSC has no score. It feeds a risk profile that decides how often you are inspected, so a clean record pays off over time.

When should we run the pre-inspection?

Whenever there is time before a likely port call. Fleetward keeps the record current, so you are not starting from scratch each time.
