ANNEX

COMPANY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

(referred to in Article 10(3) of Directive 2009/16/EC)

1.   Detention index of a company

The detention index is the ratio of the number of detentions of all ships in a company’s fleet to the number of inspections of all the ships in the company’s fleet within the previous 36 months, compared with the average detention ratio for all ships inspected in the region covered by the Paris MoU over the previous 36 months.

The detention index shall be considered average if it is within a margin of 2 percentage points above or below the average detention ratio for all ships inspected in the region covered by the Paris MoU during the previous 36 months.

The detention index shall be considered above average if it is more than 2 percentage points above the average detention ratio for all ships inspected in the region covered by the Paris MoU during the previous 36 months.

The detention index shall be considered below average if it is more than 2 percentage points below the average detention ratio for all ships inspected in the region covered by the Paris MoU during the previous 36 months.

The detention index of a company shall be considered above average irrespective of all other inspection results if a refusal of access order in accordance with Directive 2009/16/EC is issued within the previous 36 months to any ship in the fleet of that company.

2.   Deficiency index of a company

The deficiency index is the ratio of the total points of all deficiencies of all ships in a company’s fleet to the number of inspections of all ships in the company’s fleet during the previous 36 months, compared with the average deficiency ratio for all ships inspected in the region covered by the Paris MoU over the previous 36 months.

For the purposes of the first subparagraph ISM Code related deficiencies shall be weighted at 5 points while any other deficiencies shall be weighted at 1 point. The average deficiency ratio within the region covered by the Paris MoU shall be weighted taking into account the average occurrence of ISM Code related deficiencies and any other deficiencies per inspection.

The deficiency index shall be considered average if it is within a margin of 2 percentage points above or below the weighted average of deficiencies in the region covered by the Paris MoU during the previous 36 months.

The deficiency index shall be considered above average if it is more than 2 percentage points above the weighted average of deficiencies in the region covered by the Paris MoU during the previous 36 months.

The deficiency index shall be considered below average if it is more than 2 percentage points below the weighted average of deficiencies in the region covered by the Paris MoU during the previous 36 months.

3.   Company performance matrix

Company performance shall be ranked as follows:

| Detention index | Deficiency index | Company performance |
| --- | --- | --- |
| above average | above average | very low |
| above average | average | low |
| above average | below average |
| average | above average |
