PSC Risk Check
Is your ship a High, Standard or Low Risk Ship — and when is her next Port State Control inspection due? Search her by IMO, check the details, and see her profile under the Paris MoU, the Tokyo MoU and the USCG targeting matrix, with the points behind it.
Rules: Paris MoU Annex 7 (46th amendment, 2025) and its 2025 flag and class lists; Tokyo MoU New Inspection Regime (July 2025) and its 2025 lists; USCG targeting matrix (COMDTINST M16000.73) with the 2025 targeted flags and class detention ratios. An estimate — the regimes' own systems hold the official profile.
Questions
What is a ship risk profile?
The Paris MoU (Europe and the North Atlantic) and the Tokyo MoU (Asia-Pacific) give every ship a profile — High, Standard or Low Risk — from weighting points for her type, age, flag, class society (recognised organisation), ISM company and her detentions and deficiencies in the region over 36 months. The profile sets how often she is due for a periodic inspection.
How often is a ship inspected under the Paris MoU?
High Risk Ships every 5–6 months after the last inspection in the region, Standard Risk every 10–12 months and Low Risk every 24–36 months. Once the window closes she becomes Priority I: inspected at the next port where practical. Under the Tokyo MoU the windows are 2–4, 5–8 and 9–18 months.
How does the US Coast Guard pick ships to examine?
With its Safety and Environmental Protection Compliance Targeting Matrix: points for a listed owner, operator or charterer, a targeted flag (7 points for high-risk flags, 2 for medium), the class society's US detention ratio, US detentions in the last 12 months, and the ship's type and age. 17 points or more is Priority I, 7–16 Priority II. A ship with no US exam in 12 months is at least Priority II.
Which flags are targeted?
Paris MoU 2025 Black List: Comoros, Tanzania and Cameroon (very high risk), Belize, Vanuatu and Viet Nam (medium to high), Saint Kitts and Nevis, Palau, Togo and Guinea-Bissau (medium). USCG 2025 high-risk flags: Belize, Bolivia, Cyprus, Tanzania, Togo and Vanuatu; medium: Antigua and Barbuda, Canada, China, Liberia, the Netherlands, Panama, Portugal, the Republic of Korea and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Is this the official result?
No. It applies the published rules to what you enter. The regimes' own systems (THETIS for the Paris MoU, APCIS for the Tokyo MoU, the USCG's MISLE) hold the official profile, and inspectors can also board any ship for overriding or unexpected factors.
