Port State Environmental Inspections

In response to the global call for environmental integrity within maritime, shipping, and offshore industries, this course offers comprehensive training for Port State Control Officers (PSCOs) worldwide. The focus is on compliance with maritime conventions such as Marpol, BWM, Bunker, OPRC, and AFS.

Designed to enhance technical knowledge and practical skills, the course covers the essential aspects of shipboard safety inspections and the methodologies for conducting Port State inspections on foreign vessels. As environmental standards evolve, particularly with Marpol annexes and the implementation of exceptional area discharge standards, there is an increasing need for PSCOs to build their capacity in environmental inspections. This includes staying abreast of the enforcement of BWM D2 measures and recent requirements for bunker quality.

By the end of this course, PSCOs will be equipped with up-to-date knowledge of current and forthcoming environmental regulations, ensuring their readiness to effectively uphold and enforce these crucial standards in their respective ports and terminals.
