This study employs the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method to evaluate the risk factors that lead to ship detentions under Port State Control (PSC). The principal objective of the research is to conduct a comprehensive risk analysis of ship deficiencies in terms of probability, severity, and non-detectability. The findings indicate that deficiencies related to the International Safety Management (ISM) system significantly cause ship detentions. These deficiencies substantially negatively impact the safety and efficiency of ship operations. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing a thorough evaluation of key deficiencies leading to ship detentions. This evaluation considers the probability, severity and detectability of these deficiencies based on input from industry representatives and experts. This approach allows for a multidimensional examination of the risks associated with ship detentions.
