Maritime Risk International
PSC report
Classification society ClassNK has released its annual report on port state control (PSC). The report aims to assist ship
operators and management companies in maintaining compliant operations by providing information about ships detained by PSC
as well as deficiencies that were found on board from many port states in 2017. In line with the International Safety Management
Code, PSC inspections ensure that vessels departing the port meet international standards and have proved to be highly effective
in eliminating substandard ships.
