Ship Risk Profile Self-Assessment

Inspection template for calculating a vessel's Port State Control risk profile based on ship type, age, flag, recognized organization, and company performance to anticipate inspection frequency under Paris and Tokyo MoU regimes.

Vessel Identification and Scope

• Vessel name and IMO number recorded
  Record the vessel name and IMO number used for the risk assessment.
• Assessment date and intended port of call recorded
  Document when the assessment was completed and the target port or region for PSC planning.
• Vessel type selected from applicable PSC risk category
  Select the vessel type used in the risk profile calculation.
• Assessment scope confirmed as PSC risk profile self-assessment
  Confirm this review is limited to PSC risk inputs and inspection frequency planning.
• Supporting records available for review
  Confirm the assessment is supported by current vessel certificates, company records, and class/RO information.

Vessel Age and Technical Profile

• Vessel age in years
  Enter the vessel age in whole years for use in the risk profile.
• Age documentation matches vessel records
  Verify the reported age matches registry and certificate records.
• Hull and machinery condition reviewed for obvious deficiencies
  Rate the overall technical condition based on visible deficiencies that may affect PSC attention.
• Outstanding class or statutory deficiencies identified
  Indicate whether any open deficiencies, detentions, or overdue corrective actions remain unresolved.
• Recent dry-dock or major repair date recorded
  Record the most recent dry-dock, special survey, or major repair date if applicable.

Flag State and Recognized Organization Performance

• Flag state identified
  Select the flag state used in the PSC risk profile.
• Flag state performance status documented
  Rate the flag state's recent PSC performance and detention history as part of the risk profile.
• Recognized organization (RO) identified
  Record the classification society or recognized organization responsible for statutory services.
• RO performance status documented
  Rate the recognized organization's performance based on audit findings, detentions, and survey quality.
• Flag or RO change within the last 12 months
  Identify whether a recent change in flag or recognized organization may affect the risk profile.
• Current statutory certificates valid and available
  Confirm certificates are valid, onboard, and match the flag and RO records.

Company Performance and PSC History

• Company performance status documented
  Rate the company's PSC and safety performance using recent detention, deficiency, and audit trends.
• Open PSC deficiencies from prior inspections
  Indicate whether any prior PSC deficiencies remain open or overdue for closure.
• Detention history reviewed for the past 36 months
  Confirm the vessel's detention history has been reviewed and considered in the risk profile.
• Repeated deficiency patterns identified
  Select recurring deficiency themes that may increase PSC attention.
• Company corrective action closure rate acceptable
  Enter the approximate percentage of corrective actions closed on time across the fleet or vessel.

Risk Profile Result and PSC Planning

• Calculated PSC risk profile recorded
  Document the resulting vessel risk profile after reviewing all inputs.
• Expected PSC inspection frequency documented
  Select the expected inspection frequency based on the calculated risk profile.
• Pre-arrival corrective actions assigned
  List any actions required before arrival to reduce PSC exposure or address deficiencies.
• Inspector notes and assumptions documented
  Record assumptions, data gaps, or notes used when calculating the vessel risk profile.
