Key Findings & Stats from 1st Month of 2025 PSC CIC

15 of 115 detained vessels found to have Ballast Water Management related detainable deficiencies in the 1^st month of 2025 Port State Control Concentrated Inspection Campaign

As on 07 October 2025

INTRODUCTION

The 2025 Port State Control Concentrated Inspection Campaign (PSC CIC), an initiative led by the Paris and Tokyo MoUs currently running from 1 September to 30 November 2025, focuses on Ballast Water Management (BWM).

The PSC CIC aims at ensuring vessels comply with the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention, which helps prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species. It is expected that the majority of PSC MoUs will participate in this year’s CIC. CICs focus on specific areas where a higher risk of non-compliance could exist. This could be evidenced by the number of deficiencies encountered, accidents or where new convention requirements have recently entered into force.

A QUICK SUMMARY OF WHAT THE MARITEC NAIAS CHECKLIST PLACES THOROUGH EMPHASIS ON (CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH WHAT INSPECTORS ARE EXPECTED TO CHECK FOR)

• Ballast Water Record Book (BWRB)
  • Accurate and complete entries for all ballast operations (intake, transfer, discharge) with date, time, location, and volume
  • Use of electronic BWRBs must be backed by flag state approval letters kept onboard
  • Consistency between BWRB, BWMS logs, and actual operations
• Ballast Water Management System (BWMS)
  • Functionality and maintenance records
  • Reporting of malfunctions and use of contingency measures
  • Crew familiarity with system operation
• Ballast Water Management Plan (BWMP)
  • Up-to-date and integrated into the Safety Management System
  • Clear procedures for normal and emergency operations
  • Designated responsible personnel and port-specific details
• Crew Familiarization
  • Inspectors will assess whether crew members understand:
  • How to operate the BWMS
  • What to do in case of system failure
  • How to properly record ballast operations

Note: As always, the CIC is part of regular PSC inspections. Inspections are therefore not limited to BWM; however, during the first PSC inspection in a participating MoU, the CIC topic will be addressed.
