Paris MoU Concentrated Inspection Campaigns
Concentrated Inspection Campaigns
05.05.08
Each year the Paris Memorandum of understanding on Port State Control (Paris MoU) carries out a Concentrated Inspection Campaign where Port State Control Officers concentrate on a specific topic.
In 2007 Port State Control inspections focused on the effective implementation of the Safety Management System (SMS) on board. A total of 5,427 ships were inspected by the Paris MoU in this Concentrated Inspection Campaign. In general, the campaign showed that the ISM system was functioning on ships. However, many of the inspections revealed ISM deficiencies. One hundred and seventy-six of the inspections resulted in a detention where one or more major non-conformities were found.
The Paris MoU will will continue to monitor the implementation of the SMS to ensure that the requirements contained in the ISM Code are complied with.
For 2008, the Paris MoU has planned a Concentrated Inspection Campaign that will focus on Navigation SOLAS chapter V inter alia charts, shipborne navigational systems and equipment. The campaign will include voyage data recorders (VDR), automated identification systems (AIS) and electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS).

Paris MoU - New targeting lists
Από Infromarine on-line
PARIS MOU ANNOUNCED NEW TARGETING LISTS
Sunday, 07.06.2008, 08:08pm (GMT)
A “hard core” of flag States remain on the “Black List”. Most of the flags that were considered “very high risk” in 2006 have retained this ranking. The poorest performing flags are still Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Bolivia and Albania.
New on the “Black List” is Sierra Leone, in previous years this flag did not have enough inspections. Brazil disappeared from the “Black List” because less than 30 inspections were recorded. Jamaica, Mongolia, Panama and Ukraine moved from the “Grey List” to the “Black List”. Morocco improved the performance from “Black” to “Grey”.
Flags with an average performance are shown on the “Grey List”. Their appearance on this list may act as an incentive to improve and move to the “White List”. At the same time flags at the lower end of the “Grey List” should be careful not to neglect control over their ships and risk ending up on the “Black List” next year.
India, Ireland, the Russian Federation and Vanuatu moved up from “Grey” to “White”. Netherlands Antilles and Saudi Arabia moved down from “White” to “Grey”. Cook Islands is new on the “Grey List”.
The “White List” represents quality flags with a consistently low detention record. France, Bermuda (UK) and China are placed highest in terms of performance.
A flag’s ranking is taken into account when targeting ships for inspection and ships flying flags listed on the “Black list” are liable for banning from the region after multiple detentions.
The Paris MoU also agreed on the performance listing of Recognized Organizations (ROs). These organizations have been delegated with statutory responsibilities by flag States. This table uses the same method of calculation as the flag State table but counts only those detentions, which the Paris MoU considers to be directly related to a statutory survey carried out by the recognized organization.
Det Norske Veritas, Germanischer Lloyd and Registro Italiano Navale are the recognized organizations highest performing ROs.
Korea Classification Society (Korea, DPR), International Register of Shipping (USA) and Shipping Register of Ukraine have shown the lowest performance.
More information can be found in the 2007 Annual Report, which will be released in July 2008.

Joint Paris & Tokyo MOU Press release
25 August 2008
PARIS AND TOKYO MOU’s ON PORT STATE CONTROL HOLD JOINT CONCENTRATED INSPECTION CAMPAIGN
ON SAFETY OF NAVIGATION – SOLAS Ch. V.
BEGINING 1 SEPTEMBER 2008.
The 43 Maritime Authorities of the Paris and the Tokyo Memoranda on Port State Control (EU Members, the States of the Asia Pacific region, plus Canada, Croatia, Iceland, Norway, and the Russian Federation) will begin a joint concentrated inspection campaign focussing on compliance with SOLAS Chapter V – Safety of Navigation. This inspection campaign will be held for 3 months, ending on 30 November 2008.
In practice the concentrated inspection campaign will mean that during every port State control inspection within the Paris and Tokyo MOU regions, the navigation related equipment and documentation shall be verified in more detail for compliance with SOLAS Chapter V. Port State Control Officers will verify that there is compliance with the carriage requirements for all size of ships and where required also valid statutory certification together with relevant record of equipment, as well as that equipment has type approval and is functioning effectively. Furthermore familiarity of the master and watch-keeping officers with the bridge equipment will be evaluated.
During the campaign Port State Control Officers shall use a list of 12 selected items to verify critical areas for the safety of navigation, some of which are related to:
• Documentation
• Equipment
• Familiarisation
When deficiencies are found, actions by the port State may vary from recording a deficiency and instructing the master to rectify within a certain period to detention of the ship until all deficiencies have been rectified.
In case of detention, the ship could face the risk of further inspections in other Paris and Tokyo MOU ports and publication in the monthly list of detentions issued by the Secretariat of the Paris MOU and Tokyo MOU web page, on line detention list.
All inspections will be inserted in the databases of the Paris and Tokyo MOUs, SIRENAC and APCIS respectively, and will be recorded on an evaluation form. The results of the campaign shall be analysed later this year. Detailed results of the campaign will be discussed during the 42nd meeting of the Paris MOU Port State Control Committee in May 2009 in Iceland and during the 19th Committee meeting of the Tokyo MOU, in 2009, in Papua New Guinea.
For 2009 a joint Paris and Tokyo MOU concentrated inspection campaign has been planned which will focus on Lifeboat Launching Arrangements, including Maintenance and records, Operational safety, On-load releases, Davits and winches, as well as Drills.
