Preface 23 December 2019 15 Background Introduction to MLC-2006 MLC-2006 The Convention Definitions • Port State Control (PSC) is the inspection of foreign ships in national ports to verify that the condition of the ship and its equipment comply with the requirements of international regulations and that the ship is manned and operated in compliance with these rules. • Many of IMO's most important technical conventions contain provisions for ships to be inspected when they visit foreign ports to ensure that they meet IMO requirements. • These inspections were originally intended to be a back up to flag State implementation, but experience has shown that they can be extremely effective. The Organization adopted resolution A.682(17) on Regional co- operation in the control of ships and discharges promoting the conclusion of regional agreements. Application & Implementation Conclusion
