Port state control: prepared for the inspection

How an inspection runs, what a ship is detained for, and what to do beforehand

A port state control inspection decides within hours whether a ship sails on or is detained, and the selection of the ship is not chance but a risk profile. The course shows how that profile is built, which deficiencies justify immediate detention, and what has to be done beforehand.
