PART 4 – PORT STATES Implementation 50 Port States have certain rights and obligations under various mandatory IMO instruments. When exercising their rights under the instruments, port States incur additional obligations. 51 Port States can play an integral role in the achievement of maritime safety and environmental protection, including pollution prevention. The role and responsibilities of the port State with respect to maritime safety and environmental protection is derived from a combination of international treaties, conventions, national laws, as well as in some instances, bilateral and multilateral agreements. Enforcement 52 Port States should take all necessary measures to ensure their observance of international rules when exercising their rights and fulfilling their obligations. 53 Several IMO conventions contain specific provisions that permit port State control. 54 In this respect, SOLAS, as modified by its 1988 Protocol, MARPOL and STCW also contain provisions that obligate port States to treat non-Parties to those conventions no more favourably than those that are Parties. This means that port States are obliged to impose the conditions of the conventions on Parties as well as on non-Parties. 55 When exercising their right to carry out port State control, a port State should establish processes to administer a port State control programme consistent with the relevant resolution adopted by the Organization 7 . 7 Refer to the Procedures for Port State Control, 2011 (resolution A.1052(27)).

Evaluation and review 58 Port States should periodically evaluate their performance in respect of exercising their rights and meeting their obligations under mandatory IMO instruments. 7 Refer to the Procedures for Port State Control, 2011 (resolution A.1052(27)).
