Merchant Shipping Notice No. l0 of 2025
Subiect: Imnlementation of Revised suidelines for Inspection ofRPS Providcrs under the Merchant
Shinnins (RPSI Rulcs. 2016 - res.
The Directorate has been consistently monitoring the competitive landscape ofglobal seafarer
employment. In this context, achieving excellence in maritime education, training, and recruitment is
vital to sustaining India's esteemed position in the international maritime sector. It is, therefore,
imperative to continuously strengthen and uphold the standards of maritime training, shipboard
training, and recruitment and placement services. To this end, the Directorate remains committed to
enhancing and refining the mechanisms for effective implementation and monitoring on an ongoing
basis.
2. Whereas, upon a comprehensive review of the existing monitoring mechanisms, it has been noted that
the checklist used by surveyors, auditors and other inspectors when evaluating Recruitment and
Placement Service Providers (RPSLs) audits requires significant qualitative improvements. In
response, the Directorate has developed a more robust checklist specifically for the RPSL inspection
process. This checklist will be implemented to assess the performance of RPSLs, superseding the
existing processes of initial, annual and renewal inspections as outlined under Rule l3 ofthe Merchant
Shipping (RPS) Rules, 2016. A detailed pro-forma for conducting the Inspection is provided in
Annexure - I.
3. As part ofthe enhanced oversight mechanism to ensure the quality and integrity ofaudits conducted
by Recognized Organizations (ROs), it is mandatory for each RPSL company to undergo their third
annual inspection by surveyors nominated directly by the DGS Crew Branch. These inspections shall
be conducted by surveyors from DGS, MMD, DSEO, or GSO offices, as designated by the Crew
Branch, in place of the respective RO for the third annual audit. Accordingly, all RPSL companies
must submit applications to the DGS Crew Branch within the prescribed audit window for the
nomination ofsurveyors. The nominated officers will carry out the audit and submit their reports to

system in lieu olthe Ro in accordance with rule l3 of the MS (RpSL) Rules,2016. This measure has
been instituted to strengthen transparency, eliminate conflicts of interest, and uphold the highest
standards ofseafarer welfare and regulatory compliance.
4' whereas, the Recognized organizations (Ros) must adhere strictly to all applicable provisions of the
Ro code, ensuring compliance with the functional, organizational, and control requirements that are
mandated for Ros conducting statutory certification and providing services under mandatorv
Intemational Maritime Organization (lMO) instruments.
5' whereas the newly developed checklist will be implemented with elfect from 0l .l 1.2025 and will be
applicable to all initial, annual, renewal and special inspections ensuring consistency and improvement
in the evaluation process. Failure to comply with the updated inspection parameters may attract penal
provisions under MS Act and RPS rules as applicable, including but not limited to suspension or
cancellation ofthe RpS license.
