Tokyo MoU issues Annual Report on Port State Control 2012

The Tokyo MoU has issued its Annual Report on Port State Control in the Asia-Pacific Region 212.
Tokyo MOU carried out a total of 30,929 inspections in 2012, which creates a new record not only of its own but also for the regional PSC regimes around the world.
Detentions have decreased both in number and in percentage in 2012. It is for the first time that the regional detention rate is below 5%, except for the year of starting operation of the Tokyo MOU.
This can be seen as a positive outcome of effective operation of PSC programme by the Tokyo MOU Authorities.
There are several notable developments in the Tokyo MOU in 2012, namely: implementation of the new coding system, enacting measures on under-performing ships permanently, renewal of the MOU web-site and establishing the open forum with the industry
A concentrated inspection campaign on fire safety was conducted in cooperation with the Paris MOU, the Black Sea MOU, the Indian Ocean MOU, the Mediterranean MOU, and the Viña del Mar Agreement.
