The running Port State Control campaign on one page: the questions the inspector will ask, your preparation tasks, progress and a printable pack.

What it is for
"Campaign Mode" puts the running Port State Control concentrated inspection campaign on one page so the bridge can work through it before arrival and print it for the file. It shows the campaign that is running now — or, if none is running, the next one announced — with the days left, the campaign questionnaire, the preparation tasks from the Campaign tracker, and a progress bar across both.
For the 2026 cargo securing campaign the page lists the 10 questions the inspector will ask, each with a "Have ready:" line and a note on how the inspector looks at it, plus the 10 preparation tasks. It also names the regimes that have confirmed the campaign.
Who can use it
Everyone, on every plan, can read and tick. The questionnaire ticks follow the same rules as the PSC page (Free: the first 2 questions; on a ship licence the Chief Officer owns the campaign list). The "Print" pack is on paid plans.
Step by step
- Open Campaign mode from the PSC page or All tools. The banner shows the campaign title, "Running — N days left" or "Coming next", the window and the summary.
- Work through "What the inspector will ask": tick each question when you can answer it with evidence. The red "detainable" pill marks the questions that can lead to detention.
- Work through "Preparation tasks" — the same tasks as the Campaign tracker — and tick them as they are done. The progress bar counts questions and tasks together.
- Tap "Print" at the top to print the pack for the bridge file; the printout carries the ship’s name, IMO, the date and the done count.
- Use "Next-port targeting" or "PSC Readiness" at the bottom to carry on with the wider pre-arrival work.
Tips
- The questionnaire ticks and the task ticks are shared with the PSC page and the Campaign tracker — tick in whichever place you are.
- If no campaign is running or announced, the page says so and links to the Campaign tracker.
What the inspector looks for
- During a campaign the campaign questionnaire is added to every inspection. The inspector fills it in against what they see and who they talk to.
- For cargo securing the inspector walks the deck or holds against the stowage plan and the Cargo Securing Manual, counts certified gear, looks for condemned gear still in the rack and asks the people who did the lashing what the limits are.
- 7 of the 10 questions in the 2026 campaign are marked detainable. Failing one is a detention risk.
Limits and good to know
- The "Print" pack is on paid plans, the trial and a ship licence; on the Free plan the button is greyed and opens the plans pop-up.
- Free plan: the first 2 campaign questions and the first 2 preparation tasks can be ticked; the rest are read-only. On a ship licence the tasks follow the same chapter owner as the questionnaire.
- The page only knows the campaigns loaded in the app; it is updated as the regimes announce them.
- Ticks are ship data and sync through the SeaReady server with the ship’s file when the phone has internet; offline, changes are held on the phone until the connection returns.
