Tankers to be targeted by PSC (July 30 2010) Tankers are to be targeted over a three month period starting 1st September by the members of the Paris MoU Port State Control (PSC) organisation.
The Paris MoU has announced a concentrated three-month inspection campaign (CIC) to verify correct tanker damage stability. The campaign begins on 1st September and ends on 30th November 2010. The need for the campaign arose, according to the Paris MoU secretariat, because inspections showed that tankers are frequently sailing when not complying with damage stability requirements, had no means of assessing damage stability, or were sailing in a laden condition not covered by the approved stability book. In practice the CIC will mean that during every PSC inspection of an oil tanker, chemical tanker, or gas carrier within the Paris MoU region, the stability information book and other applicable documentation shall be verified in more detail for compliance with relevant regulations. PSC officers (PSCOs) will use a list of nine selected items to verify tanker stability critical areas. The questionnaire is to be published on the Paris MoU website. A special training programme has been organised to prepare PSCOs for the campaign. When deficiencies are found, actions by the port state may vary from recording a deficiency to detention of the ship until the problems have been rectified. In case of a detention, the details will be published in the monthly list of detentions available on the Paris MoU website. The results of the campaign will be analysed and findings will be presented to the governing bodies of the MoU for submission to the IMO. ------------------------------------ Moderator tdk bertanggung jawab atas kebenaran isi dan/atau identitas asli pengirim berita.
