Port State Control (PSC) is a critical component of Maritime Safety and environmental protection. It refers to the process where authorities in a port state - where a ship is docked or anchored - inspect foreign-registered vessels to ensure they comply with international regulations and standards. Port State Control is a global system, with regional agreements such as the Paris MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) in Europe, the Tokyo MoU in Asia-Pacific, and others around the world. These agreements help to coordinate efforts and share information, enhancing the overall effectiveness of PSC.

The courses are useful for deck Operational and support, Engine Operational and support, Deck Management and support, Engine Management and support & all personnel ashore and ship staff engaged in the preparation of the vessel for a forthcoming port state control inspection, as well as Managers, Superintendents, Recruitment Service Providers and Senior ship staff, directly involved in assessing seafarer competence while conducting appraisals recruitment and monitoring of seafarer progress of performance for continual improvement.
