Port state control
Helping you to reduce your risk of a detention
Port state control is the inspection of foreign ships in
national ports to verify that the condition of the ship and its
equipment complies with the requirements of international
conventions and that the ship is manned and operated in compliance
with these rules. If your ship is detained or appears to be in the
process of being detained or if you would like general advice on
port state control issues, please contact your local Lloyd's
Register Group office.
Transparency of information
We are committed to transparency of information where it may
help improve fleet quality. For this reason, we publish information
on the port state detention performance of the Lloyd's Register
classed fleet. This helps the industry to recognise recurring risks
and improve safety by highlighting those items that are hazardous
to operations, yet continually produce detentions.
The detention performance
information is real-time and is updated on a
continuous basis and can be accessed via ClassDirect Live. It not
only details specific deficiencies and data on the number of
detentions per ship (by month, quarter, year) but, importantly,
includes statistical analysis on the entire Lloyd's Register fleet.
This helps to identify trends across the fleet, highlighting
specific aspects which can be measured against prior performance,
including:
- detentions by ship type (oil tankers, bulk carriers,
container, passenger, LNG, general cargo, etc)
- detentions related to ship flag state
- detentions by ship age and by detaining
country
- league tables of most prominent and recurring deficiency
items
