Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the available data on recorded ship deficiencies during ship inspections which are related to pollution prevention. The purpose of these inspections regulated under the different Port State Control (PSC) regimes’ Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs), is to detect and disable the operation of substandard ships. The data obtained were sorted according to the six Annexes of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) Convention, and a comparison was made within the scope of each Memorandum of Understanding by each of the Annexes and antifouling system. By using a Chi-Squared test and correlation analysis, MoUs are compared and analyzed. The conclusions thus obtained provide an insight into the most common deficiencies regarding pollution prevention in the world fleet, revealing which standards are most often met and which are trying to achieve a better degree of compliance with the standards envisaged by law.
