Paris MoU – New inspection regime
On January 2011, there will be changes to the reporting and targeting regimes for ships calling at ports under the Paris MoU jurisdiction. Details of the new reporting requirements may be found in the attached EMSA leaflet and presentation.
Please note that in accordance with reporting and other requirements, individual member states will remain responsible for implementing the rules on pre-arrival reporting both 72 and 24 hours in advance, noting that the 72 hour period will apply to vessels which are deemed eligible for an Expanded Inspection.
The NIR will now also take account of the historical performance of a company when assessing whether a ship is subject to an inspection.
If a vessel is deemed a low risk ship, the number of inspections in Paris MoU ports might be as few as one in every 24-36 month period.
