China Port State Control (PSC) inspections detained 3 vessels found with BWMS deficiencies

As on 17 September 2024

Introduction

The Port State Control (PSC) is an inspection regime for countries to inspect foreign-registered ships in port other than those of the flag state and take action against ships that are not in compliance.

During September 2024 inspections, the China PSC detained 3 vessels, which were found to have deficiencies related to the vessel’s Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS) and procedures in accordance with IMO’s Ballast Water Convention (Resolution MEPC.387[81]).

Deficiencies Recorded

The following are the BWMS deficiencies recorded:

Vessel A, detained at Rizhao port on 10 September 2024:

Vessel B, detained at Zhanjiang port on 9 September 2024:

Vessel C, detained at Dalian port on 6 September 2024:

The above vessel deficiencies reported by the PSC are yet another indication of the strengthened drive by authorities towards more stringent monitoring of Ballast Water Management System procedures in the universal pursuit towards greener shipping.
