This CIC will be held for three months, commencing from 1 September 2015 and ending on 30 November 2015. The ship’s procedures and measures that are in place with respect to enclosed spaces will be checked in detail for compliance with the requirements of SOLAS during a regular Port State Control (PSC) inspection conducted under the new inspection regime (NIR) within the Paris and Tokyo MoU regions. PSC Officers (PSCOs) will use a list of 10 selected questions to establish that crew members with enclosed space duties are familiar with relevant equipment and have received training to carry out their duties and identify and understand the hazards associated with entry into enclosed spaces. For this purpose, PSCOs will apply a questionnaire, which has been annexed to this press release, listing these items, to be covered during the CIC.
