Foreword
This Annual Report on Port State Control (PSC) summarizes deficiencies identified during PSC
inspections carried out in various countries around the world. The objective of the report is to raiseawareness of the present state of PSC and thereby improve future onboard maintenance, inspections, andSafety Management Systems.
The report consists of the following chapters.
Chapter 1: Measures adopted by ClassNK
Chapter 2: Statistical Analysis of Detained Ships Registered with ClassNK
Port State Control has been recognized as a direct and highly effective means to reduce the number ofsubstandard ships, improve the safety of ships at sea, and prevent marine pollution. The activity of PSC
worldwide has significantly been strengthened along with an increasing number of amendments torelevant international conventions.
In addition, to effectively implement port state responsibilities, many countries have signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for regional cooperation among local PSCs, and have agreed toestablish a centralized & digitized database system and/or a harmonized approach.
The scope of PSC inspection has expanded from the hardware aspect of ships to the software aspect, suchas onboard maintenance or operational procedures since the adoption of the ISM Code, which applies toall ships. This scope continues to expand as new regulatory concepts are introduced.
In line with the progress of PSC, ClassNK is committed to enhancing the transparency of PSC-related
information and eliminating substandard vessels.

ClassNK Annual Report on Port State Control

Chapter 1
Measures Adopted by ClassNK
1.1 Cooperative assistance with PSC and treatment of deficiencies
When surveyors of the Society are notified by port state of the detention of a ship classed with ClassNK,
the Society actively responds in the following manners.
- Surveyors liaise with PSCO to ensure that they are called in as soon as appropriate when deficiencies
related to class and/or statutory matters are identified.
- Surveyors liaise with PSCO to ensure uniformity of interpretation of class and statutory requirements.
- Surveyors provide PSCO with background information, extracts from reports pertinent to theinspection, and details of outstanding recommendations of class and statutory items whenever sorequested by the PSCO.
- Attending surveyors examine not only the condition of the deficiencies identified by the PSCO but
also expand the scope of the survey for the general condition of the hull, machinery and equipment,
or carry out a general examination to the extent of an annual survey, if necessary, carefully
considering the seriousness of any deficiencies when they attend to ships that have been subject toan intervention action by the PSC.
1.2 Treatment of PSC inspection reports
When a surveyor receives an inspection report copy from PSC, the report is sent to the ClassNK Head
Office for investigation by the staff in charge. Through each investigation, the insights are utilized for
improving the Society’s survey and audit quality.
In addition, in cases where the deficiencies pointed out by the PSC are determined to be related toprevious surveys conducted by surveyors of the Society, appropriate corrective and preventive actions
are taken in accordance with the ClassNK quality system.

Chapter 2
Statistical Analysis of Detained Ships Registered with ClassNK
2.1 General
The data in this chapter, on ships detained due to deficiencies identified during PSC inspections, is basedon the following sources:(1) Notifications from Port States issued in accordance with IMO Resolution A.1155(32) “Procedures
for Port State Control” and(2) Publications related to detained ships issued by the Tokyo MOU, the Paris MoU, and the USCG.
In 2023, 419 PSC detentions were reported for 398 ships classed by NK. This included cases of detention
for reasons not related to class or to NK itself.

stipulated in the Safety Management Manual are automatically linked to the mobile
app of the managed ships for convenient use on mobile devices.

Communicate with land staff in chat format regarding PSC reports andTie-upmalfunctioning equipment using the mobile app. In addition, by utilizing the task
status management function, it is possible to prevent oversights in task responses.

Output a summary report of your fleet that summarizes PSC performance, defective
items and frequently identified deficiencies, including trends in deficiencies found in
