Is your ship a high, standard or low risk ship?
Port State Control in Europe and Asia-Pacific decides how often to board your ship from its risk profile. Enter what the profile is built from and see the result under both regimes, the points behind it, what stands between you and low risk, and when the next inspection window opens.

The published rules, applied to what you enter
Both MoUs give every ship a profile from generic parameters (type, age, flag, recognized organization, company) and its own inspection history over the last 36 months. Each high-risk criterion carries weighting points; enough points make a high risk ship, while a low risk ship has to meet every low-risk criterion. We apply those published tables to your answers. The MoUs recalculate profiles daily in their own systems, and their result is the one that counts.
- What you need to look upYour flag's place on each MoU's performance list, your recognized organization's performance and your company's performance. The MoUs publish these; we link to them and do not copy them.
- What it does not coverOverriding and unexpected factors that can trigger an inspection at any time (a collision, a report from a pilot, an outstanding deficiency), bans, the USCG and other regimes, and concentrated inspection campaigns.
- Why it mattersA high risk ship is due for inspection every few months, so every finding counts against the company's performance for three years. The way to low risk runs through the flag, class and company performance, and through clean inspections.
Fewer findings, fewer boardings
Our platform keeps every ship's certificates, inspections, findings and defects in one place, with the close-out evidence an inspector or vetting officer asks for. Ask us for a free readiness review of one ship.
