Development of a New Inspection Regime by the Paris MoU Panama Maritime IX 8-11 February 2009

Paris MOU on Port State Control New Inspection Regime – NIR In force 1 January 2011 Developed by Paris MoU Task Force 31 Recasting of EU Directive 95/21/EC in parallel

Paris MOU on Port State Control New Inspection Regime – NIR System of risk based targeting, selection and inspection based on following principles: Ensure full coverage of ships visiting ports and anchorages Adhere to provisions of IMO and ILO Conventions Establish risk profiles for ships Define intervals between inspections Reduce inspection intervals for LRS Increase inspection intervals for HRS

Paris MOU on Port State Control New Inspection Regime – NIR Principles (continued): Include performance of company in risk profile Extend refusal of access to all ship types Share total inspection commitments fairly Extend reporting requirements of pilots to deep sea pilots Target ships which carry noxious and dangerous cargo Prevent ports of convenience Maintain quality and efficiency of current regime Use resources efficiently Establish areas of inspection based on risk

Paris MOU on Port State Control Ship Risk Profile Final version agreed in December 2008: Instead of a target factor every ship has a risk profile based on: Type, age, flag, RO Company – an important new development Detentions and deficiencies A ship will be either High, Standard or Low Risk

High Risk Ship (HRS)Low Risk Ship (LRS) Criteria Weighting points Criteria Type Oil, Chemical, Gas Bulk, Passenger 2All types Age> 12 yrs1All ages Flag BGW-list Black - VHR, HR, M to HR 2 White Black – MR 1 IMO-Audit - -Yes Recognized Organisation Performance H--High M--- LLow 1 - VLVery Low- EU recognised--Yes CompanyPerformance H--High M--- LLow 2 - VLVery Low- Nr of def. recorded in each insp. within pr. 36 months DeficienciesNot eligible- ≤ 5 (and at least 1 insp. carried out in pr. 36 months) Nr of detentions within pr. 36 months Detentions≥ 2 detentions1 No Detention HRS = 5 points* LRS = all criteria* SRS = not HRS or LRS

> For example the following combinations have 5 points: a) Oil tanker (2 pts.), black listed flag, HR (2 pts.), and low RO performance (1 pt.) b) Container ship (0 pts.), more than 12 years old (1 pt.), black listed flag, MR to HR (2 pts.), very low RO performance (1 pt.), and ≥ 2 detentions in last 36 months (1 pt.) c) Bulk carrier (2 pt.), black listed flag, VHR (2 pts.), and ≥ 2 detentions in last 36 months (1 pt.) d) General cargo ship (0 pts.), more than 12 years old (1 pt.), low RO performance (1 pt.), low company performance (2 pts.), and ≥ 2 detentions in last 36 months (1 pt.) Ship Risk Profile

Paris MOU on Port State Control Company performance Company Performance Formula: Taking into account detention and deficiency history of all ships in a (ISM) company’s fleet Calculated daily over a 36 month period ISM deficiencies 5 points. Others 1 point Refusal of access (banning): above average detention index Performance: high, medium, low, very low

> Every ship eligible for a periodic inspection as follows: High Risk Ship (HRS) every 5-6 months Standard Risk Ship (SRS) every months Low Risk Ship (LRS) every months Periodic Inspections

Periodic Inspections continued When the “inspection window” opens it is Priority II it may be inspected When the “inspection window” is closed it is Priority I it must be inspected

Additional Inspections Other factors can trigger an additional inspection  Overriding factors are Priority I – for example: collision illegal discharge unsafe manoeuvring suspended or withdrawn class not in database >

Additional Inspections continued  Unexpected factors are Priority II – for example: outstanding deficiencies previously detained ships (after 3 months) complaint cargo problems Recommended pilotage scheme not followed in entrance to Baltic Sea

Expanded Inspections Periodic inspections will be expanded for all HRS and risky types (tanker,bulker,pax)>12 years old Additional inspections may be expanded according to the professional judgement of the PSCO if HRS or risky type >12 years old

Scope of inspections Initial checks overall condition as with current regime Expanded checks: overall condition in a list of 14 risk areas e.g. weather tightness, emergency systems, living conditions PLUS a list of specified items for each ship type >

Scope of inspections continued More detailed checks: the risk areas where clear grounds are established the risk areas relevant to any overriding or unexpected factors other risk areas at random The depth of inspection in each area or on each specified item remains the professional judgement of PSCO

Simplified banning procedures Applies to ALL ship types (currently only oil, gas, chemical bulk and passenger) >2 detentions in 3 years if black flag >2 detentions in 2 years if grey flag Plus minimum period of ban 3 months for 1 st ban 12 months for 2 nd ban 24 months for 3 rd ban, conditional 4 th ban will be indefinite >
