Checklist For PSC Inspections Complete Rev04 2015
It does not in any way replace or cover the scope of class and/or statutory surveys carried out
by Bureau Veritas, the Flag state or by Bureau Veritas on behalf of the Flag state.
It is not exhaustive and contains items which are recorded as of elevated attention by the PSC
in different areas. The questionnaire is based also on similar checklists created and distributed
recently by Flag Administrations, marine consultants and organizations. It is reflecting as well
the recent data from statistics available apparently to Bureau Veritas from its own classed fleet
and various external sources.
It is worth to underline that as per Bureau Veritas Rules, latest edition, Pt.A, Ch.1, Sec.1, under
the par. “Duties of the Interested Parties” :
“The classification of a ship is based on the understanding that the ship is loaded and operated
in a proper manner by competent and qualified crew or operating personnel according to the
environmental, loading, operating and other criteria on which classification is based. In
particular, it will be assumed that the draught of the ship in operating conditions will not exceed
that corresponding to the freeboard assigned or the maximum approved for the classification,
that the ship will be properly loaded taking into account both its stability and the stresses
imposed on its structures and that cargoes will be properly stowed and suitably secured and
that the speed and course of the ship are adapted to the prevailing sea and weather conditions
according to the normal prudent seamanship.
…… Ships are to be maintained at all times, at the diligence of the Owners, in proper condition
complying with international safety and pollution prevention regulations.”
Present document is not in any way designed, even as guidance only, to replace or prevent the
use of any applicable regulatory document in the field of Port State Control Inspection Regime,
such as IMO Res.A.1052(27) as amended or specific PSC Administrations requirements,
Concentrated Inspection Campaign announcements or any other Administration imposed
additional regulations and/or specific port, country or regional regimes as published.
If your ship is detained, or appears to be in the process of being detained, you should
contact the nearest BV office immediately for assistance. The BV surveyor will facilitate
rectification of deficiencies, verify compliance with the applicable requirements and
expedite release of the ship. Refer to BV Rules Pt A, Ch1, sec1, § 3.4.1.
