Özet

Port State Control (PSC) involves the inspection of foreignflagged ships by port states to ensure compliance with international agreements, with the aim of ensuring maritime and environmental safety. National PSCs from various regions worldwide collaborate through joint inspection agreements known as “Memoranda of Understanding” (MoUs). This study focuses on data from the Paris Memorandum of Understanding for the first half of 2023. Using the Fault Tree Analysis method, the study has identified deficiencies that resulted in the detention of ships. Initial probabilities of these deficiencies have been determined, and their impact on the top event has been calculated. The study’s aim is to determine the most common deficiencies leading to ship detentions and to provide valuable insights for authorities, ship operators, and ship personnel. The study has revealed that the most prevalent deficiency leading to ship detentions is related to the International Safety Management (ISM) Code.
