Pre-PSC inspections
Current Category:
PSC (Port State Control)
Pre-PSC inspections (Port State Control) pre-inspections are checks carried out by the maritime authorities of a State on foreign-flagged ships that call at its ports.
These checks aim to ensure compliance with international regulations on navigation safety, environmental protection and working conditions on board.
PSC inspections are based on international conventions such as SOLAS, MARPOL and MLC, and can lead to detention, fines or even refusal of access to ports for non-compliant ships.
A PSC pre-inspection allows ship owners and operators to identify and correct any non-conformities before arriving in port, reducing the risk of delays and fines. This process helps improve crew training, ship maintenance and compliance with international regulations, contributing to a more efficient and safe management of maritime activity.
