ParisMOU
The organization
The Paris MOU consists of 19 participating maritime Administrations and
covers the waters of the European coastal States and the North Atlantic
basin from North America to Europe.
Our mission
The Paris MOU aims at eliminating the operation of sub-standard ships
through a harmonized system of port State control.
What we do
Annually over 18.000 inspections take place on board foreign ships in the
Paris MOU ports, ensuring that these ships meet international safety and
environmental standards, and that crew members have adequate living and
working conditions.

Port State Control - General
➢
The prime responsibility for compliance with the requirements laid down in
the international maritime conventions lies with the shipowner/ operator;
responsibility for ensuring such compliance remains with the Flag State.
➢
The member-countries in each MOU agreed to inspect a percentage of the
estimated number of individual foreign merchant ships, which enter their
ports.
➢
IMO and ILO conventions provide the basis for inspections under the Paris
MOU.
➢
In general ships will not be inspected within six months of a previous
inspection in a MOU port, unless there are clear grounds for inspection.
➢
All possible efforts are made to avoid unduly detaining or delaying a ship.
➢
Inspections are generally unannounced.
