To enforce compliance with International Conventions (e.g. MARPOL) and regulations. (Art.1: “…compliance with international and relevant Community legislation…”). PSC inspection is broader then the PRF inspection and may cover (or not) the MARPOL discharge requirements if clear grounds revealed or in case of overriding - unexpected factors. Scope To all ships, (including fishing vessels and recreational crafts), irrespective of their flag, calling at, or operating To any ship of a foreign flag and its crew calling at a port or anchorage of a Member State to engage in a ship/port interface PRF inspection may be conducted on board almost all ships (including domestic vessels, fishing vessels & recreational crafts) either flying the flag of the

Some of the data is fragmented, possibly obsolete and difficult to extract the final number of exemptions. However, we may assume that 710 exemptions from 7 MS may correspond to 2,333 exemptions from all 23 maritime EU MS. Therefore: 2,333 exemptions x 2,128 euros = 4,964,624 euro annual costs for port users. 6. Assessment and granting exemptions (competent authorities) (table 6) The same assumptions may be used for calculating the cost incurred by the Competent Authorities for assessing and granting exemptions: Hourly wage costs (Eurostat data for public administrations/2015) Daily wage costs, derived from Eurostat (based on 8 hours) Number of days required for assessment Costs for Assessing and granting an exemption 21.98 175.84 30 5,275 euro 2,333 exemptions x 5.275 euros = 12,306,575 euro annual costs for Competent Authorities. 7. Advance waste notification
It may be assumed that for freighters around 5% time savings will occur (mostly because of the alignment on cargo residues). For cruise and passenger vessels we may assume only 1% savings because cargo residues are not applicable. Based on these assumptions, the following calculation is made of the time saved from the alignment of the advance waste notification: Freighters: 1 hour x 5% = 0.05 hours savings; Passenger ships: 4 hours x 1% = 0.04 hours savings; Cruise ships: 8 hours x 1% = 0.08 hours savings.
