Port State Control MasterClass
Port State Control regimes are in place over the last 30 years with trends shifting from one decade to another, however many PSC myths remain unexploited, and the topic is still keeping people awake at night. Over the last years with the work provided by RISK4SEA with the use of PSC Big Data a lot of light has been directed into the issues affecting PSC performance as well as understanding the gaps between the leaders and laggards with respect to PSC Benchmarking. The time has come to share our groundbreaking research with the industry illuminating PSC performance, putting the horse before the cart, at last.
With that in mind SAFETY4SEA is providing a MasterClass on Port State Control aiming to present and analyse the barriers and drivers of PSC performance, providing a roadmap to PSC Excellence for the industry.
