Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) announces the release of its Annual Report on Port State Control for 2007.
Port State Control (PSC) has proven to be a very effective tool in reducing the number of substandard ships as well as for improving maritime safety and pollution prevention generally. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in PSC activity worldwide, in concert with a number of amendments to relevant international conventions such as SOLAS and MARPOL, as well as the ISM Code and other relevant statutory requirements. ClassNK has been working hard to increase the transparency of information related to PSC issues and to make it even more difficult for substandard ships to continue operating in the market place. As part of its commitment to this transparency, ClassNK publishes an annual report on PSC related activities. This report summarizes the various types of deficiencies identified by PSC inspections carried out in various countries around the world. The report is prepared with the aim of building awareness of the present state of PSC as well as of improving future maintenance and surveys.
