9 November 2009: Paris MOU - New Inspection Regime
Source: Nepia
Members will be aware that the existing Paris MOU inspection regime will be replaced by the New Inspection Regime (NIR) on 01 January 2011. The purpose of the NIR is to refine the targeting of vessels in order that ships perceived by the MOU as poor quality will be subject to both more frequent and more in-depth inspections, whilst those regarded as quality ships will be rewarded with less inspections.
Paris MOU have developed a Ship Risk Profile calculator that will categorise ships as either High Risk Ships (HRS), Standard Risk Ships (SRS) or Low Risk Ships (LRS). Vessels will then be inspected at intervals associated with their risk category.
HRS - inspection interval 6 months
SRS - inspection interval 10 -12 months
LRS - inspection interval 24 - 36 months
There is a clear benefit to Members for having ships in the LRS category.
Members can get an early indication of how their vessels may be categorised by the NIR by visiting the Paris MOU website and calculating both their individual vessel risk category and their company performance.

22 July 2009: Lifeboat Launching Arrangements - Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) - Paris and Tokyo MOUs
Further to our industry news item of 01 May, Tokyo MOU have produced a checklist to assist port state control officers during the forthcoming CIC. Click here.
The document can serve as a useful guide for Members' technical departments, and for their vessels, in preparing for the CIC. It clearly indicates the areas which are most likely to give rise to a detention i.e. the questions with an asterisk.
There appears to be a particular focus on crew understanding of, and the maintenance of, free fall lifeboat securing arrangements.
We would also take this opportunity to remind Members and seafarers of our DVD in relation to freefall lifeboat launching arrangements which may be accessed online here. This may prove to be of assistance in preparing for the CIC.
Paris MOU adopt new port State control inspection system
At its 42nd Committee Meeting held in Reykjavik last week, the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control (Paris MoU) adopted a "New Inspection Regime" (NIR), which will enter into force from 1 January 2011.
The NIR is a risk based targeting mechanism developed in parallel with the EU's 3rd Maritime Safety Package that will reward quality shipping with a smaller inspection burden and concentrate on high-risk ships which will be subject to more in-depth and frequent inspections.
Based on the latest developments at the IMO, the NIR will make use of company performance and IMO audit to identify the risk profile of ships together with the performance of the flag State and recognised organisation. A ship's past inspection records, age and type will all influence targeting.
The NIR will be accompanied by a new information system "THETIS" which will replace the current SIReNaC system, implementation will rely on the collection of port call information.
