Next-port PSC

"Next-Port PSC Targeting" answers one question: what will the inspector in my next port be looking for? Pick the port and the app shows which Port State Control regime boards you there, whether it is running a campaign, which deficiency areas its inspectors record most (with the year and the report the figure comes from), and your ship’s risk profile worked out the Paris MoU way.

It then re-orders the 26 PSC pre-arrival checklist items so the riskiest come first: detainable items, items in that regime’s top deficiency areas, and an extra push for detainable items when your ship profiles as high risk. Each item says why it was moved up.

An officer tool: full on Officer Pro, a ship licence and the free trial; a read-only preview on Free and Crew. The PSC toolkit stays free to use.

1. Under "Next port" type a port or country and tap the port — the regime is filled in from the country. If the port is not listed, pick the regime under "Port State Control regime" yourself.
2. Read the campaign box ("Running now" or "Not confirmed for this MoU") and "What … inspectors find most" — the regime’s top deficiency areas with the figure and the annual report they come from.
3. Fill in "Your ship’s risk profile": "Ship age (years)", your flag’s list, "Class (RO) performance", "Company (DOC holder) performance", detentions and most deficiencies in the last 36 months, and the switch "At least one PSC inspection in the last 36 months". Leave "Not sure" where you do not know.
4. Read the result — "High risk ship" (5 points or more), "Standard risk ship" or "Low risk ship" — with the expected inspection window. "How the points are worked out" shows each factor.
5. Work down "Pre-arrival checklist — riskiest first". The pills under each item say why it is there: "Detainable if found", the regime’s top area, or "High-risk ship: expanded inspection likely".

• Your ship type comes from your vessel settings — tankers, bulk carriers and passenger ships score 2 risk points on their own.
• Countries in two regimes (Canada, Australia, Türkiye, Malta and others) are shown with both. Ask your agent which regime will board you.
• The amber box warns that the Paris MoU changes how ships are risk-rated from 6 July 2027; the points here apply until then.

• A high-risk profile means a more frequent and more thorough inspection — expect the inspector to go beyond the certificates.
• Fire safety tops the deficiency lists of the largest regimes; life-saving appliances, working and living conditions and safety of navigation follow. Those are the walks the inspector takes first.

• Free and Crew see a preview only; Officer Pro, a ship licence or the trial switches it on.
• The port list is a starting set of major ports; for any other port pick the regime directly. Where a regime’s own report has not been checked the page says so and shows the areas that top the two largest regimes instead. The risk profile follows the published Paris MoU method; other regimes use their own targeting.
• The port you picked and your risk answers are saved on this phone only. The checklist ticks are ship data and sync with the ship’s file through the SeaReady server when the phone has internet.
• Figures and campaigns were checked in October 2026. Always confirm with your agent and company before arrival.
