From 10 July to 9 August 2023 the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Port State Control conducted a Focused Inspection Campaign (FIC) on Pilot Transfer Arrangements (PTAs).
The Paris MoU is trialing an alternative approach to the regular Concentrated Inspection Campaigns (CICs) by conducting several short targeted inspection campaigns referred to as Focused Inspection Campaigns (FICs). In the coming months more such FICs are scheduled. After completion of the trials, the results, ease of implementation and effectiveness will be assessed and, on this basis, further decisions will be made on inspection campaigns and their format. Part of the trial also involves assessing whether or not to pre-announce the inspection campaign. Format: pdf #PSC #CIC #PTAs

Deck lifting equipment such as gantry cranes, general cargo crane, provision crane, derrick etc. help in carrying heavy loads/cargo on board ships. As these deck machinery systems are subjected to continuous loading, their parts wear down at a faster rate, thus requiring maintenance at regular intervals of time. Inability to do so can lead to system failure, unfortunate accidents, and loss of lives and property.
The new SOLAS regulation, provides associated draft Guidelines for Lifting Appliances - MSC.1/Circ.1663.
The Member Authorities of the Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control in the Riyadh MOU Region (RMOU) will initiate a Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) focusing on Ships' Lifting Appliances.
