PSC audit assistance and PSC (Port State Control) pre audit inspection

Our maritime management consultants can perform a Port State Control Verification Audit aboard ships and yachts to help minimise the risk that a Port State Control (PSC) inspection could result in any deficiencies or even detentions.

Port State Control (PSC) is an internationally agreed regime for the inspection of foreign vessels in other national ports by PSC inspectors. These inspectors are tasked with verifying compliance of the vessel with the requirements of key international conventions and associated codes (e.g. ISM, ISPS, SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, MLC).

A PSC inspection can include the following actions:
Ensuring that the vessel is manned and operated in compliance with applicable international law
Verifying the competency of the ship’s master and officers
Checking the condition of a vessel and its equipment.
Our specialists will support you in the preparation for a PSC inspection, follow up on any corrective or preventive actions, and compose a report with recommended improvement and lessons learned.
