LAUNCH OF JOINT CONCENTRATED INSPECTION CAMPAIGN ON STABILITY IN GENERAL

The Member Authorities of the Tokyo and the Paris Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) on Port State Control will launch a joint Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) on Stability (in general).
The purpose of the campaign on ship’s stability in general is:
 to confirm that the ship’s crew are familiar with assessing the actual stability condition on completion of cargo operations before departure of the ship and on all stages of the voyage;
 to create awareness among the ship’s crew and owners about the importance of calculating the actual stability condition of the ship on completion of cargo operations and before departure of the ship;
 to verify that the ship complies with intact stability requirements (and damage stability requirements, if applicable) under the relevant IMO instruments;
This inspection campaign will be held for three months, commencing from 1 September 2021 and ending 30 November 2021. It will examine specific areas related to the campaign in conjunction with the regular Port State Control inspection.
A ship will be subject to only one inspection under this CIC during the period of the campaign.
