Port state control reporting obligations: Information for state authorities, ship owners, masters, agents or operators of ships calling at ports of the Paris MoU

The New Inspection Regime (NIR) of the Paris MoU on port State control will enter into force on 1 January 2011 for all 27 Member States. The NIR includes a targeting system assigning a risk profile to each ship visiting ports in the region. It will require certain information for any ship arriving and leaving ports or anchorages in the Paris MoU region to be made available to the new PSC information database. This brochure provides the relevant background information.
