  • Who should attend

In the vast field of maritime operations, the responsibility for ensuring that ships comply with the provisions of relevant codes, practices and legislation rests squarely on the shoulders of shipowners, masters and flag states. These stakeholders are the linchpins of maritime safety and environmental protection. The importance of effective enforcement of these requirements at sea goes far beyond mere compliance; it is in the best interests of all maritime professionals, both on and offshore. The consequences of ships failing to fulfil their obligations under agreed international legal instruments and subsequently sailing in unsafe conditions are far-reaching. Lives are put at risk and the fragile marine environment itself is threatened. It is therefore imperative that all stakeholders come together to develop effective port state interfaces for the sake of safe shipping.

 

Port State Control, based on expert knowledge and first-hand experience, plays a central role in this landscape. It is a fundamental component of maritime safety and environmental protection. From the enforcement of SOLAS to MARPOL, ISPS to ISM, Port State Control is the safeguard against unsafe shipping practices that could endanger both human life and the marine environment. In a world where ships are the lifeblood of global trade, the proper implementation of Port State Control is the cornerstone of responsible and sustainable maritime operations.

 

The course equips participants with the knowledge and insight needed to proactively address areas of deficiency and ensure that their fleet operates in strict compliance with international regulations and standards. By embarking on this educational journey, stakeholders will not only gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of Port State Control, but will also actively contribute to the overall goal of safer, more sustainable shipping practices on a global scale.
