INDEPENDENT MARINE ASSURANCE

Pre-PSC Inspection and Detention Risk Review

Independent pre-PSC inspection to identify detention risks, verify shipboard readiness and support focused corrective action before port arrival.

  • Bridge, deck, machinery spaces and accommodation condition
  • Life-saving, fire-fighting and pollution-prevention arrangements
  • Operational tests, drills and crew familiarity
