Ship Inspection and Port State Control

I can’t speak for all deep-sea ships but in my experience if you’re sailing foreign the ship is going to be subject to a lot of PSC inspections. Especially if the ship is going around the world because in each MOU is separate, so you can pass a PSC inspection in Northern Europe with flying colors and still be subject to another PSC inspection a few days later in the Med.
