The Challenge

Challenges for PSC Inspections Preparation

Unpredictable PSC Inspection Outcomes Changing inspection priorities and regional MOU requirements can make it difficult to anticipate PSC findings and prepare effectively for upcoming port calls.
Manual Preparation Effort Preparing for PSC inspections often involves collecting information from multiple sources, creating unnecessary administrative burden and reducing preparation efficiency.
Limited Insight into Performance Trends Without a clear view of recurring deficiencies and PSC performance patterns, crew can struggle to identify improvement opportunities and prioritise corrective action.
