MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ON PORT STATE CONTROL IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION FOREWORD We are pleased to present the Annual Report on Port State Control in the Asia-Pacific Region 2025. In 2025, member Authorities of the Tokyo MOU carried out a total of 35,546 inspections, the highest number of inspections conducted in the history of the Tokyo MOU. Following last year, the detention rate continued the decreasing trend in 2025, however, it has not yet returned to the same level as the pre-pandemic period. For driving improvement of performance, the Tokyo MOU developed the scheme for publishing lists of high-performing and under-performing companies and, upon the successful trial, it will be officially implemented beginning of 2026. With the active support by the member Authorities and their Port State Control (PSC) officers, three focused inspection campaign trials were carried out effectively in 2025, where experiences gained will be useful for the review and improvement of the current approach of inspection campaigns. We would like to repeat the concerns on the continued increase of under-performing ships during the past three years and the constant high number and high percentage of ISM related detentions over the years. Hence, we highlight this and urge all stakeholders to re-assess their performance, practices and safety culture to take measures as appropriate to ensure full compliance with the relevant international maritime standards. This Annual Report summarizes port State control activities and developments by the member Authorities of the Tokyo MOU in 2025. Furthermore, the report also provides port State control statistics and analysis on the results of inspections carried out by member Authorities during the year. To ensure that the Tokyo MOU is future-ready to respond to the ever-changing shipping landscape, including emerging new technology, alternative fuels and various challenging global situations, the Tokyo MOU will continue to enhance and improve the activities in all aspects. The Tokyo MOU will also promote and strengthen the global cooperation with international organizations, other regional PSC regimes and the industry stakeholders.
