Identification of Trends in Port State Control Detention: A Comparative Analysis of Two Regional MoU Agreements

ABSTRACT: Port State Control (PSC) is the inspection of foreign ships in national ports based on relevant international conventions and regulations. This study aimed to construct a comprehensive analysis framework to identify PSC detention trends by comparing data from two regional agreements for a selected period. The objective was achieved by collecting detention data based on the Paris and Tokyo MoU for the 2018 to 2022 period. The data were analyzed traditionally using statistical methods to determine PSC detention trends with a focus on some factors. The results for Paris MoU showed that the highest percentage detention based on flag registry was Panama at 19.75%, recognized organization was class BV at 16.71%, type of ship was general cargo at 46.86%, ship more than 25 years old were 45.52% and deficiency related to ISM was 16.69%. Meanwhile, the analysis of the data related to Tokyo MoU showed Panama at 30.22%, class NKK at 22.61%, bulk carrier vessels at 39.22%, 15 and 19 years old at 29.82% and deficiency related to fire safety was 21.66%, respectively. The results were expected to provide important insights into the maritime industry, especially for ship managers and shipping companies as well as future studies related to PSC.
