Fire Safety Inspectors to Check 10,000 Ships Worldwide

Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS) helps ship operators prepare for September 2012 concentrated PSC inspections. The Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) by the Paris and the Tokyo Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) on Port State Control (PSC) will run for three months and is designed to ensure compliance with SOLAS Chapter II-2, covering fire fighting arrangements onboard ships. WSS Business Manager for Safety Products and Services Rob Chesters, says ship owners should make themselves aware of the equipment and related documentation to be assessed during regular onboard inspections.
