Paris & Tokyo MoUs CICs for 2015

For many years now, Regional Port State Control Authorities of Paris & Tokyo MoUs have been performing Concentrated Inspection campaigns (CICs) putting focus on specific areas where high levels of deficiencies have been encountered by PSCOs, or where new convention requirements have recently entered into force.

Such Campaigns usually take place yearly over a period of 3 months (September – November) and are combined with a regular Port State Control inspection.

For the current year 2015 the below topic shall be the subject of a CIC by both Paris & Tokyo MoU regions (while other MoUs may join as well):
