Thirdly, when the PSCO coming on board, every one on board was polite and talked with the PSCO fluently.By this way, we passed through the PSC inspection successfully.4. Make a comparison between different ports in different states.PSC inspections are conducted to ensure that foreign ships are seaworthy, do not pose a pollution risk, provide a healthy and safe working environment and comply with relevant international conventions. PSC inspections may include, but is not limited to, checks of documents, certificates, man uals, the vessel’s structural integrity, machinery, navigation, pollution prevention, engineering and safety systems, maintenance programs and crew proficiency.But the emphasis of PSC inspections of different ports in different states may vary. For example, in American ports, PSC inspections place emphasis on the inspection of ship’s fire fighting and lifesaving equipment. While in Australian ports, PSC inspections place emphasis on the maintenance of the hull, the vessel’s structural integrity, and etc.5. PSC Inspection related to ISM Code:。
