REGIME ISPETTIVO (PARIS MoU)
PORT STATE CONTROL (PSC) SURVEYS & NEW INSPECTION REGIME
(PARIS MoU)

Le visite da parte dell' Autorità Marittima Portuale possono
essere eseguite quando la nave è in un porto straniero, in
conformità alla Convenzione SOLAS o al "Memorandum di
Parigi”. Ogni qualvolta viene eseguita una visita PSCS,
l'Autorità che effettua la visita consegnerà al Comandante
una documentazione (certificato o rapporto di visita), che
riporta le eventuali prescrizioni.
Le prescrizioni devono essere immediatamente
comunicate alla DPA competente ed eliminate entro i
termini stabiliti dall’Autorità Portuale. Il Comandante
dovrà inoltre comunicare alla DPA competente quando le
prescrizioni sono state eliminate. La documentazione
relativa alle PSCS viene conservata nell’archivio dei
certificati nave. Copia della suddetta documentazione deve
essere inviata all’ Ufficio SMS e Sicurezza.
Surveys by the Port State Authority may be performed
when the ship is in a foreign port according to the SOLAS
Convention or the "Memorandum of Understanding on Port
State Control". Whenever a PSCS is carried out, the
surveying Authority will hand the ship's Master a document
(certificate or survey report) indicating any outstanding
recommendations.
Outstanding recommendations are to be immediately
communicated to the concerned DPA and complied
with within the terms established by the Port
Authority. The Master shall moreover notify the DPA
concerned when recommendations have been complied
with. Port State survey documentation is kept in the ship's
"certificates file". A copy of this documentation is to be sent
to the SMS/Safety Department.

Paris MoU
New Inspection Regime

The New Inspection Regime (NIR) of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding

(PMoU)

1. The new target of full coverage

With the introduction of the NIR the PMoU will change its target of inspecting
25% of individual ships calling at each member State to a shared commitment
for full coverage of inspecting all ships visiting ports and anchorages in the PMoU
region as a whole.

1.1. Ship Risk Profile

The Target Factor will be replaced by the Ship Risk Profile. The Ship Risk Profile
classifies ships into Low Risk Ships (LRS) and High Risk Ships (HRS). If a ship is
neither Low Risk or High Risk it is classified as Standard Risk Ship (SRS).

The Ship Risk Profile is based on the following criteria, using details of
inspections in the PMoU area in the last 3 years:

- type of ship;
- age of ship;
- performance of the flag of the ship (including undertaking Voluntary
IMO Member State Audit Scheme (VIMSAS));
- performance of the recognized organization(s);
- performance of the company responsible for the ISM management;
- number of deficiencies;
- number of detentions.

1.2 Company performance

The company performance criteria for the calculation of the Ship Risk Profile is a
new parameter in the PMoU. The PMoU has established a formula which takes
into consideration the deficiencies and detentions in the last 36 months of the
company’s fleet, based on the IMO company number and compares it to the
average of all vessels inspected in the PMoU to determine the performance level.
The companies will be ranked into very low, low, medium and high. Any Refusal
of Access (Ban) will have a negative impact on the ranking of the company.

1.3 Inspection Categories, Time Window, Selection Scheme and

Inspection Types

Recognising the rights of Port States to inspect foreign flagged ships in their
ports at any time, the Paris MoU is introducing the following regime.

.1 Inspection Categories:
Paris MoU
New Inspection Regime

The NIR includes two categories of inspection, a periodic and an additional

inspection.

Periodic inspections are determined by the time window. Additional inspections

are triggered by overriding or unexpected factors depending on the severity of
the occurrence.
.2 Time Window

The time window is set according to the Ship Risk Profile as follows:

- HRS: between 5-6 months after the last inspection in the PMoU region;
- SRS: between 10-12 months after the last inspection in the PMoU region;
- LRS: between 24-36 months after the last inspection in the PMoU region.

The time span for the next periodic inspection re-starts after any inspection.

.3 Selection Scheme:

If the time window has passed a ship becomes Priority I. The ship will be
selected for a periodic inspection.

When the time window opens a ship becomes Priority II. The ship can be
selected for a periodic inspection.

If an overriding factor is logged against a ship it becomes Priority I irrespective

of the time window and the ship will be selected for inspection.

If an unexpected factor is logged against a ship it becomes Priority II irrespective

of the time window and the ship can be selected for inspection.

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 ship but if deemed appropriate
may still choose to do so.

.4 Inspection types (Initial, more detailed and expanded inspection):

The PMoU will not change the inspection types but will extend the expanded
inspection to all ship types.

In case of a periodic inspection each ship with a HRS profile and each bulk
carrier, chemical tanker, gas carrier, oil tanker or passenger ship older than 12
years will have to undergo an expanded inspection. Each ship with a SRS and
LRS profile which is not one of the above mentioned ship types, will undergo an
initial inspection or if clear grounds are established a more detailed inspection.
Paris MoU
New Inspection Regime

Any additional inspection shall be, at least, a more detailed inspection. If the ship
has a HRS profile or is of one of the above mentioned ship types, the member
State may decide to perform an expanded inspection instead.

1.4 Refusal of access (banning)

The PMoU will widen the banning for multiple detentions from certain ship types
to all ship types and extend the flag from the black to the grey listed ones.

The banning criteria for the first and second ban will be amended as follows:

If the ship flies a black listed flag it will be banned after more than 2
detentions in the last 36 months;
If the ship flies a grey listed flag it will be banned after more than 2
detentions in the last 24 months.

Any subsequent detention after the 2nd banning will lead to a ban, regardless of
the flag.

Furthermore a time period until the banning can be lifted will be introduced
which is as follows:

1. 3 months after the first ban;

2. 12 months after the second ban;
3. 24 months after the third ban;
4. permanent ban.

To lift the 3rd ban more stringent conditions are applied which have to be fulfilled
before the 24 months has elapsed.

1.5 Reporting obligations

With the NIR the PMoU has widened the arrival notifications. The former regime
had already a 72 hour pre-arrival (ETA72) message in place. This was only
relevant for a few ship types and only in case these were eligible for an
expanded inspection. The ETA72 is now widened to all ships with a HRS profile
and also to each bulk carrier, chemical tanker, gas carrier, oil tanker and
passenger ship older than 12 years eligible for an expanded inspection. Eligibility
for expanded inspection can be consulted on www.parismou.org after 1 January
2011.

Further, as previous, it is required that all ships provide a pre-arrival notification

24 hours in advance (ETA24).

Both the ETA72 and ETA24 notifications are obligations for the ship and shall be
made to the Port State in accordance with their national arrangements.
Paris MoU
New Inspection Regime

A new reporting requirement which is introduced with the NIR is the notification
of the actual time of arrival (ATA) and the actual time of departure (ATD) of all
ships calling at all ports and anchorages in the PMoU region.

1.6 Implementation

The NIR will replace the existing PSC regime on 1 January 2011. However the
results of all inspections from mid 2009 will count towards the application of the
new requirements.
