Paris MOU and Tokyo MOU are planning the following PSC Joint Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) in 2011

Items of Concentrated inspection: Structural Safety and the Load Line Convention

Campaign period: From 1 September 2011 to 30 November 2011

During this campaign Port Sate Control Officers (PSCOs) will verify applicable documents and aspects as loading instruments, the protection of hatch openings, the vessel's hull, bulkheads, and deck and other features of the Load Line Convention and structural integrity in more detail.

The states party of the Vina del Mar Agreement, the Indian MOU, the Mediterranean MOU and the Black Sea MOU will follow the same routine during the campaign.

For this purpose PSCOs will be guided by a questionnaire listing a number of items to be covered during this concentrated inspection. The questionnaires will be published on the websites of Paris MOU and Tokyo MOU in the beginning of August 2011.
