A New Inspection Regime for port State control in all Paris MoU countries

Significant changes in the port State control system will take effect on 1 January 2011 in the European Union, and by extension the Paris MoU region. The new initiative is aimed at rewarding good-performing ships, and targeting poor-performing ships. It forms part of the 'third maritime safety package' adopted by the European Parliament in March 2009.
