Port State Control (PSC), Ship Application and Ship Inspection

How can maritime professionals effectively manage Port State Control inspections, ship compliance requirements, and regulatory enforcement while minimising deficiencies and avoiding costly detentions? In today’s maritime industry, increasing regulatory scrutiny and evolving international standards make inspection readiness and operational compliance essential for safe and efficient vessel operations.

This Port State Control (PSC), Ship Application and Ship Inspection programme by LMA provides a practical understanding of PSC frameworks, ship inspection procedures, deficiency assessment, detention criteria, and international compliance requirements. Participants will explore IMO conventions, risk-based targeting systems, enforcement mechanisms, ship documentation review, and inspection methodologies used in modern PSC operations.

The programme follows a practical, case-driven approach using real detention cases, inspection scenarios, and regulatory decision-making frameworks to help professionals strengthen inspection readiness, improve compliance performance, and manage Port State Control challenges more effectively.
