Port State Control – Vina del Mar* MOU
Owners and operators of all ships trading to ports within the Vina del Mar MOU region
In accordance with agreement reached at the 16 th Meeting of the Committee of the
South American Agreement on Port State Control, the Vina del Mar MOU Secretariat
has advised that a Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) will be carried out from
April 1, 2010, to June 30, 2010.
This campaign is intended to promote standards of safety and environmental
protection with a view to ensuring:
• compliance with requirements related to structure, subdivision and stability
• provision to the Master and Officers of damage information concerning cargo and
stability
• proper familiarisation of crew members with the steering system and the main and
emergency electrical supply systems among others.
Each port state control (PSC) inspection carried out in the Vina del Mar region will
include detailed verification of the means of access to the ship’s structure, emergency
power sources, function and operation of the main and emergency steering systems,
maintenance records of the associated equipment and systems and the operational
aspects of the safety management system in accordance with SOLAS Chapters II-1
and IX.
The PSC Officer will use a ten point checklist designed to address all these areas. A
copy of the English version of the checklist is attached to this Classification News.
In practice, it will mean that during every PSC inspection carried out in this period, the
PSC Officer will use the checklist to verify if the requirements are being maintained.
When deficiencies are found, actions by PSC will vary, from recording a deficiency and
instructing the Master to rectify it within a certain period, to detention of the ship until
the deficiencies have been rectified.
The results of the CIC will be submitted to the Vina del Mar MOU Secretariat for
publication and will be available on the website.
*Member States of Vina del Mar MOU are as follows:
