What is Port State Control

Port State Control (PSC) is part of an
international effort to identify and
eliminate substandard ships.
International and local rules apply
Local PSC / Coast Guard will take action
against ships that do not in comply with
laws or regulations.

PSC GOAL IS TO
IDENTIFY AND
ELIMINATE
SUBSTANDARD
SHIPS

If serious defects are found during an

inspection an expanded examination will
be carried out.

Inspections may result in investigations

of violations of laws, some of which carry
criminal sanctions for the crew.
The penalties for safety, security or
environmental violations can be less
severe.
