This booklet provides information on the most common and critical

deficiencies reported during port state inspections. This information

is based on recent statistics and experience gained from DNV vessels

that have been detained by Port State Control. It is intended as a

quick reference guide and may be used by the crew prior to arriving

at a port. This guide is not a substitute for the vessels own mainte-

nance system. However, it can be used as a supplement in an effort

to reduce the risk of detention. More guidance and detailed check

lists can be found within the DNV PSC Tool Kit.

In addition to the listed deficiencies, a number of operational defi-

ciencies related to the ISM Code have been increasingly recorded by

PSC officers. An effective Safety Management System onboard, well

supported by company resources, will significantly reduce the likeli-

hood of the ship being detained.

Special national Port State requirements should also be referenced

before arriving at each port. Due focus should also be given to con-centrated inspection campaigns and new regulations as they come

into force.

If the vessel is detained by Port State Control, DNV is to be noti-

fied immediately and requested for attendance onboard. The DNV

surveyor will facilitate rectification of deficiencies, verify compliance

with the applicable requirements and expedite release of the vessel.

The chart on the following page shows the percentage of detentiondeficiencies sorted by main category group found by PSC on DNV

classed ships during the period of 2009 to 2011, sorted by main

category group.

For ordering additional copies of this guide and also the complete

DNV PSC Tool Kit, please contact your local DNV office or one of our

Maritime Service Centres.
