**Impact Analysis**
**Stakeholder:** Port State Control Authorities (India)
* **Impact:** Need to continue monitoring high-risk vessels and focus on detention rates and deficiency levels at Kolkata and Chennai.
* **Action Required:** Implement strategies to address the increasing deficiency rates and the rise in detentions, potentially through targeted inspections and enhanced risk assessment.
**Stakeholder:** Flag State Administration (India)
* **Impact:** Need to address the increase in deficiencies on Indian-flagged vessels, particularly those aged 15-25 years.
* **Action Required:** Implement corrective actions to reduce deficiencies and ensure compliance with maritime regulations.
**Stakeholder:** Recognized Organizations (ROs)
* **Impact:** Need to improve performance; DNV-GL/AS had a 12.5% detention percentage.
* **Action Required:** Review inspection procedures to ensure thoroughness and compliance.
**Stakeholder:** Ship Owners/Operators
* **Impact:** Increased scrutiny for older vessels (over 20 years) and vessels under the Panama flag.
* **Action Required:** Conduct thorough internal audits and maintenance to address potential deficiencies and reduce the risk of detentions. Address high risk detentions from non-compliance of Employement Agreement, and proper conduct of Drills.
**Stakeholder:** Authorized Surveyors:
* **Impact:** Surveyors are conducting FSI/PSC at various ports.
* **Action Required:** Ensure they continue to be authorized to inspect.

There were 4 detainable deficiencies issued to one single vessel detained in Paris
MOU. The Flag performance in Paris MOU is calculated on the basis of number of
detainable deficiencies and not number of vessels detained. The 4 numbers of
detainable deficiencies on a single vessel is a matter of concern.

- Fire drill carried out as part of inspection showed lack of control and lack of
training.
- Abandon ship drill carried out as part of inspection showed lack of control and
lack of training.
