Inspections and Selection Scheme

Based on Ship Risk Profile, the selection scheme determines the scope, frequency and priority of inspections.

Periodic inspections are carried out at intervals determined by the ship risk profile.

overriding or unexpected factors presented in the below might trigger an inspection in between periodic
inspections. This category of inspections is referred to as an Additional Inspection.

Ships become due for periodic inspection in the following time windows:

• For HRS: between 2-4 months after the last inspection in the BS MoU region;

• For SRS: between 5-8 months after the last inspection in the BS MoU region;

• For LRS: between 9-18 months after the last inspection in the BS MoU region;

Since periodic inspection and additional inspections count equally, the timespan for the next periodic inspection
re-starts after an additional inspection.

Selection for inspection is based upon ship priorities. Ships are assigned the following priorities in the BSIS:

• Priority I: ships must be inspected, for which time window has been closed or there is an overriding
factor.

• Priority II: ships may be inspected, which is within time window or there is an unexpected factor.

• No Priority: Before the window opens for any risk profile and there are no overriding or unexpected
factor is logged, the ship has no priority status and member States are not obliged to perform an
inspection on such a ship - but if deemed appropriate may still select for inspection to do so.

Periodic Inspections and additional inspections count equally. Therefore the timespan for the next periodic
inspection re-starts after an additional inspection.

Overriding Factors
The overriding factors listed below are considered sufficiently serious to trigger an additional inspection at
Priority I:

• Ships reported by another Member State or the secretariat excluding unexpected factors,

• Ships involved in a collision, grounding or stranding on their way to port,

• Ships accused of an alleged violation of the provisions on discharge of harmful substances or effluents,

• Ships which have been manoeuvred in an erratic or unsafe manner whereby routing measures, adopted
by the IMO, or safe navigational practices and procedures have not been followed,

• Ships refused to access into the Paris MoU ports, and

• Ships on the BS MoU Monthly Ship Watch List.
