Abstract

A recent trend of global shipping industry adopting Port State Control (PSC) system is recognized as a proficient mechanism in preventing costal traffic accident and protecting marine environment. Disadvantages of Korean shipping companies in PSC inspection are unavoidable as Tokyo MOU imposed priority listed flag to Korea. Having stated above, appropriate research and prompt preparation in compliance with current PSC requirements for the Korean shipping companies have become an immediate need. The objectives of this study are : First, to review in understanding of PSC in overall and foundation of enforcement. Second. to study interaction of international treaties regarding PSC. Third, to compare practical compliance among the countries and to open up a case study on Korean shipping companies in adopting PSC. Last, to suggest direction to the Korean shipping companies the most proficient way in compliance with the current Tokyo MOU requirement. Korean flagged vessels have become prioritized target in PSC inspection as Tokyo MOU imposed priority listed flag to Korea due to high detention rate of its fleet. Disadvantage of a priority listed flag is a burden in its proficient fleet operation. This study suggests solutions to the disadvantages as below. : 1) Change shore management system, and provide continuous & quality education to crew members 2) Form a network in sharing PSC information among the Korean shipping companies 3) Form a centralized function in which government, Korean Shipping register and shipowners can treat problems in a prompt manner.
