A new version of IMO “Procedures for port State control, 2021” has been issued under Resolution A. 1155(32) PROCEDURES FOR PORT STATE CONTROL, 2021 (intercargo.org) which revokes previous resolutions A.1138(31) and MEPC.321(74).
The resolution is intended to provide basic guidance on the conduct of port state control inspections in order to provide consistency in how such inspections are carried out and in the recognition of deficiencies of a ship, its equipment, or its crew.
Copy of these procedures is essential to be provided onboard.
