Shortly after it revealed plans for a new digital Danish Register of Shipping, the Danish Maritime Authority informed it reached an important milestone for digital certificates in Ningbo, China.
The Danish-flagged container ship ‘Mumbai Maersk’ passed Port State Control without remarks in Ningbo, only using digital certificates.
This project was intended to prove, that a ship could pass inspections, such as PSC, without the need of physical certificates being presented.
During the inspection, no physical certificates were presented, nor were they requested by the PSC Officers, which is conclusive proof of the concept, DMA noted.
They applauded the system for being very good and user friendly, and it made the PSC much easier for them to execute,
…Captain Jørgen commented after the inspection.
