Port State Control Inspection, Deficiency & Detention Risk Tool

Screen the issues most likely to disrupt a PSC visit: deficient safety equipment, missing evidence, poor crew demonstrations, unresolved findings and weak corrective-action control. Compare inspection stations, review likely escalation pathways and produce a shipboard action plan. Results are decision support, not an official PSC selection or detention determination.

Fast shipboard PSC screen: 11 inputsUse documented observations where available. "Unknown" is treated as a verification gap, not as proof of non-compliance. The first loaded values are illustrative.

Condition controls below are grouped by practical PSC walkdown area. A "Significant gap" is an internal warning, not a legal declaration that the item is detainable.

Assessment boundary: A detention decision is made by the competent PSC authority, based on the applicable instruments, facts and professional judgment. Scores here are ShipUniverse planning indicators only. An unresolved serious safety or pollution defect demands action regardless of the numeric score.

Deficiency & Corrective Action Register

Record observed and historical deficiencies. The risk uplift applies only to included records not demonstrably closed. "Potential detention concern" requires qualified technical review; it does not assert a PSC detention code.

Operational Demonstration & Evidence Checks

Test the systems and records that the crew may be asked to demonstrate. A failed or unverified test increases the preparedness indicator; a test marked N/A is excluded.
