Abstract
Port State Control（PSC）is the IMO（International Maritime Organization） Resolution in inspecting foreign ships to verify that the condition of the ship, its operation, and its equipment can comply with the requirements of international regulations. It aims at ensuring the safe operation of the ship, the adequate shipboard living and working conditions, the prevention of pollution and eventually eliminating the operation of sub-standard ships.
In reviewing the statistical data listed in IMO Annual Report on Port State Control-2002, and with reference to the deficiencies found in performing PSC inspections over the world, we unexpectedly found that the defects related to“Life Saving and Fire Fighting Appliances”category ranked among one of the highest percentage of defects detected. The most inconceivable finding is that boat drills, which were part of the required procedures for the PSC inspections, caused casualties sometimes.
This thesis examines the deficiencies on the top list of the PSC inspections and provides with suggested measures to improve the situation. It is hoped that this thesis can contribute to assist our crews to meet the requirements of the PSC inspections.
Key Words：Port State Control（PSC）, Fire Safety Appliances, Life Saving Appliances.
