Port State Control (PSC) inspections are becoming more frequent, and definitely more rigorous. In today’s maritime industry, even minor oversights can lead to major consequences: detentions, delays, fines, and reputational damage.
After years of conducting onboard inspections and technical audits, we’ve identified a pattern: the same technical issues appear again and again – and most of them are completely avoidable.
That’s why we created a free, practical guide to help shipowners, DPAs, superintendents, and officers prepare smarter and safer.
🔎 What’s Inside the Guide?
Our mini guide highlights the 5 most common (and underestimated) technical problems that often trigger PSC findings:
- Fire doors not functioning as required
- Lifesaving appliances (LSA) not properly maintained
- Incomplete documentation of drills and training
- Previously identified deficiencies left unresolved
- General onboard condition and housekeeping neglected
Each issue is explained with a quick technical tip to prevent it.
⚠️ Why It Matters
Many of these mistakes are small, but they send the wrong message to inspectors: lack of control, poor safety culture, or insufficient maintenance.
A PSC detention doesn’t just hurt operationally – it affects your reputation and compliance track record across ports and vetting systems.
