India aims to become a Maritime superpower of the 21st century
and in this endeavour we have already progressed significantly
with the implementation of Maritime India Vision 2030 which was
launched in 2021, and the AmritKaal Vision 2047 provides for a
more comprehensive roadmap for maritime transformation in the
next 25 years. This aim requires the Directorate General of
Shipping as the Maritime Administration of India to have robust
mechanisms in place to ensure that its’ treaty obligations as a Flag,
Port and Coastal state are met.
With a coastline spanning over 7,500 kilometers, India’s maritime heritage and its strategic
location underscore its destiny as a leading maritime nation. Throughout our nation’s
history, the maritime sector has played a crucial role in our economic development. As
global trade flourishes across the oceans, the imperative for robust regulations to ensure
safe, sustainable, and efficient shipping grows ever more significant. India, with its
international obligations, proudly assumes its responsibilities as a Flag State, Port State,
and Coastal State to uphold and enhance these standards.
As the Maritime Administration for the nation, the Directorate General of Shipping plays
a pivotal role as an enabler, facilitator, and regulator in overseeing all maritime activities.
The Maritime India Vision 2030 continues to serve as our strategic blueprint, aligned with
the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) objectives and the United Nations’
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our focus remains on positioning India as a global
leader in maritime governance, balancing growth with environmental stewardship.
As the world navigates the post-pandemic recovery, the year 2023 has witnessed a
substantial return to pre-pandemic operations. Port State Control inspections have
increased steadily, reaffirming our commitment to ensuring compliance with IMO
regulations. The Directorate has worked tirelessly to fulfill its international obligations,
striving to maintain the highest standards for vessels under the Indian Flag and those
foreign flag vessels entering Indian waters.
A key area of focus for the Directorate continues to be the digital transformation of its
processes. Through comprehensive digitization and data-driven initiatives, we aim toenhance our oversight capabilities, ensuring that all vessels under the Indian Flag adhere
to the strictest international and national standards. These efforts are complemented by
our role as a founding member of the Indian Ocean Memorandum of Understanding
(IOMOU), through which we enhance Port State Control inspections to safeguard not only
India’s ports but also the broader Indian Ocean region from maritime pollution and
substandard vessels.
In 2023, the Directorate remained firmly committed to protecting India’s strategic
maritime assets, waterways, and fragile marine ecosystems. We are resolute in our
determination to eradicate substandard shipping along our coastline and ensure that
India's ports serve as pillars of maritime safety and sustainability.
This annual report provides a detailed analysis of the inspections conducted on Indian-
flagged vessels both domestically and internationally, as well as foreign-flagged vessels in
Indian ports. It is my hope that stakeholders will engage deeply with the insights provided,
fostering continuous improvement in safety, security, and environmental protection
measures.
I commend the efforts of the dedicated officers and staff of the Directorate in producing
this Annual PSC/FSI Report for 2023, and I trust that it will serve as a valuable resource in
our shared mission of advancing safe, secure, and sustainable shipping.
Shri Shyam Jagannathan, IAS
Director General of Shipping cum
Additional Secretary to The Govt. of IndiaForeword by The Chief Surveyor
Dear maritime colleagues and esteemed stakeholders,
It is with great pride that I present the Annual Port State Control
(PSC) and Flag State Implementation (FSI) Report for the year
2023. This report provides a thorough analysis of the maritime
industry’s performance, highlighting the resilience and
adaptability shown during these times of global recovery.
I trust this document will stand as a testament to the steadfast commitment of all
stakeholders as we collectively strive to advance maritime safety and operational
excellence.
The year 2023 unfolded as another critical period in the maritime industry, as we progressed
towards complete normalisation from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Port State
Control and Flag State Inspections and statutory surveys that were impaired during the
previous years resumed with renewed vigour testing the compliance levels and
preparedness of the vessels to pass these tests. It is truly commendable to see the industry
rise to these challenges, emerging stronger and with renewed focus on safety and
innovation.
This Annual Report 2023 compiles the results of Flag State Inspections carried out in India,
PSC inspections conducted on Indian-flagged vessels worldwide, as well as PSC inspections
of foreign-flagged vessels entering Indian ports. It goes beyond presenting mere statistics,
offering an in-depth analysis of inspection findings, regulatory trends, and the deficiencies
identified. The report reflects the collective dedication of key stakeholders—shipowners,
seafarers, classification societies, flag administrations, and port state authorities. The
insights presented are indispensable as we shape future strategies, refine safety protocols,
and promote continuous improvement across all maritime operations.
In 2023, India conducted 571 PSC inspections of foreign vessels visiting our ports, identifying
2353 deficiencies, or an average of 4.82 deficiencies per ship. Among these vessels, 128
exhibited no deficiencies, while 39 were detained, resulting in a detention rate of 19.23%.
Concurrently, 610 initial FSI inspections were carried out on Indian-flagged vessels,
uncovering 5051 deficiencies—an average of 12.07 deficiencies per vessel. Unfortunately,
41 vessels were detained, marking a detention rate of 6.72%.
Of particular note is the global recovery in PSC inspection activities during 2023, following
the Covid-induced downturn in previous years. Indian-flagged vessels were subject to 130inspections across 11 international PSC regimes, resulting in eight detentions which is a
marked increase from the number of detentions in 2022 with an increased detention rate
of 6.15% compared to 0.87% in 2022. Furthermore, 2.13 deficiencies per vessel were
recorded, with 51.53% of vessels inspected being deficiency-free.
In the post-pandemic world, our approach to maritime safety and security has evolved,
calling for a reassessment of existing protocols and the introduction of new practices. As the
Chief Surveyor, I am encouraged by the industry’s willingness to adapt, innovate, and
embrace measures that not only meet compliance requirements but also raise the bar for
overall operational standards. The proactive engagement of stakeholders in driving
excellence in maritime operations is truly commendable.
I extend my sincere appreciation to the dedicated professionals within the Directorate
whose efforts have made this report possible. Their thorough analysis and insights will
provide valuable guidance to decision-makers and maritime practitioners alike, as we
navigate the complexities of an ever-evolving global landscape.
As we look to the future, let us draw inspiration from the lessons learned and remain united
in our shared mission to prioritize safety, environmental sustainability, and the welfare of
our seafarers. Together, we can steer the maritime industry towards a more resilient,
efficient, and sustainable future.
Thank you for your continued dedication to maritime safety and excellence.

1Trend analysis of Port State Inspection Statistics
The Indian Ocean Memorandum of Understanding (IOMOU) on Port State Control (PSC) plays a crucial role in
ensuring that substandard ships are identified and eliminated from the region. India, as a member of IOMOU, upholds
its commitments under international conventions to inspect foreign vessels at its ports and ensure compliance with
safety, environmental, and crew standards as specified in the applicable laws.
To achieve the above objectives, Indian law under various sections of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 gives power
to Indian Port State surveyors to inspect foreign ships when in Indian ports for compliance to various applicable
International Conventions.
Section 342 of Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 gives powers to detain a sub- standard ship and Section 334 states that
“A ship is ‘unseaworthy’ within the meaning of this Act when the materials of which she is made, her construction,
qualifications of the master, the number, description and qualifications of the crew including officers, the weight,
description and stowage of the cargo and ballast, the condition of her hull and equipment, boilers and machinery are
not such as to render her in every aspect fit for the proposed voyage or service”.
India has been carrying out its commitment to identify and eliminate sub-standard shipping year on year and has been
publishing the results of Port State inspections annually. In the calendar year 2023, India conducted 571 initial
inspections.
Though these inspections were conducted on various types of vessels, majority were conducted on Bulk Carriers,
that is, about 48.68 % of the total number of initial inspections. More than 79 % of all vessels inspected were
less than 20 years of age. There were a total of 2353 deficiencies identified during these 571 initial inspections
constituting an average of 4.82 deficiencies per ship. 128 ships were found without any deficiencies.
There were a total of 39 detentions constituting a detention rate of 6.83 %. During the period 52 nos of Oil Tankers
were inspected and 10. Nos vessels were detained constituting a detention rate of 19.23%, 5 Nos. of Tugs were
inspected and 3 vessels were detained which constitute a detention rate of 60 % .
The Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) on Fire Safety was carried out in the Indian Ocean MOU region
between 1 September 2023 and 30 November 2023. The CIC was aimed to determine if ships meet the mandatory
requirements for fire safety prescribed in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the
International Code for Fire Safety Systems (FSS Code). This campaign was conducted in conjunction with the CIC
carried out by the Tokyo MoU, Paris MoU and other MoUs. India carried out CIC on 173 vessels which resulted in 3
detentions.
Vessels are targeted in Port State Control Inspections based on the Ship’s Risk Profile based parameters such as Type
of Ship, Age of Ship, Flag State Performance, Recognized Organization Performance etc. and accordingly Priority- I
or Priority-II or No Priority is assigned based on which the PSCO can scientifically target vessels as indicated in the
graphical representation below.

20Flag State Inspection (FSI)
Of Indian Ships
21Under Article 91 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), each State has
the authority to establish the conditions for granting nationality to ships, registering vessels within
its jurisdiction, and permitting them to fly its flag. Importantly, there must be a genuine link between
the State and the ship to ensure proper oversight.
Article 94 of UNCLOS further mandates that the Flag State must exercise effective jurisdiction and
control over vessels flying its flag to ensure safety at sea. This includes overseeing the construction,
manning, equipment, seaworthiness, labor conditions, and training standards of the vessel.
India, as a Flag State, has delegated most of the statutory surveys for its cargo vessels to Recognized
Organizations (ROs). The Indian Maritime Administration, through the Directorate General of
Shipping (DGS), fulfills its obligations under UNCLOS by implementing a Flag State Inspection (FSI)
regime. This regime is based on the age of the vessel, with older ships being subject to more frequent
inspections. Additionally, the FSI regime serves as a monitoring tool to assess the performance of
Recognized Organizations, ensuring that both vessels and ROs meet the required international
standards.
In 2023, there were 610 initial inspections of Indian flag vessels under the FSI/GI regime out of which
39 inspections were general examinations conducted by Indian RO’s on vessels trading on foreign
routes.
There were 5051 deficiencies raised in the 610 initial FSI/GI inspections with an average of 8.29
deficiencies per ship.
The 38 Number of Offshore Service vessels Inspected registered the highest average deficiencies
of 13.13 per vessel followed by 145 number Other Types ofships inspected with an average of 10.42
deficiencies per vessel.
There were 41 vessels detained under FSI in 2023 constituting a detention rate of 6.72%. Among
all ship types detained, the highest i.e. 18 were Other Types of Ship.
Merchant Shipping Notice 4 of 2017 dated 18.05.2017 provides the frequency of FSI to be carried
out on Indian flag vessels as mentioned below.

of Indian Flag vessels
in Foreign Ports

1. Paris MoU
2. Tokyo MoU
3. Indian Ocean MoU
4. Mediterranean MoU
5. Acuerdo de Vina del Mar (Latin American MoU)
6. Caribbean MoU
7. Abuja MoU
8. Black Sea MoU
9. Riyadh MoU
10. United States Coast Guard (USCG)
11. Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA)
52Port State Control (PSC) is the inspection of foreign ships in national ports to verify that the
condition of the ship and its equipment comply with the requirements of international regulations
and that the ship is manned and operated in compliance with these rules.
PSC inspections are intended to be a backup to flag State implementation against substandard
shipping, and experience has shown that they can be extremely effective. Many IMO conventions
contain provisions for Governments to inspect foreign ships that visit their ports to ensure that
they meet IMO standards contained in instruments to which the port State is a Party, taking into
account the concept of no-more favourable treatment.
Article 218 (1) - Enforcement by port States andArticle 219 - Measures relating to seaworthiness
of vessels to avoid pollution of the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)
allows the Port State to take administrative measures against vessels which are in violation of
applicable international rules and standards relating to seaworthiness of vessels and thereby
threatens damage to the marine environment.
Indian Flag vessels regularly trade in the regional MOU’s on port State control ie. Paris MoU;
Tokyo MoU; Acuerdo de Viña del Mar; Caribbean MoU; Abuja MoU; Black Sea MoU;
Mediterranean MoU; Indian Ocean MoU; Riyadh MoU and the PSC Regime of The United
States Coast Guard. All Indian vessels which undergo PSC inspections at Foreign Ports have
to mandatorily upload the inspection reports on the fsidgs.dgshipping.gov.in website. In case
of detention the PSC Cell of the DGS has to be informed by the company and Recognised
organization of the vessel immediately.
The Merchant Shipping Notice 4 0f 2017 dated 18.05.2017 issued by the Directorate General
of Shipping rewards quality Indian vessels which have satisfactorily undergone all PSC
inspection (since last general examination or Flag State Inspection) under Paris MOU, USCG
or in countries such as Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Republic of Korea,
New Zealand and Canada (under Tokyo MOU), without any detainable deficiency and total
number of deficiencies not exceeding five (5) exemption from next FSI/General Examination.
The year 2023 has seen a general increase in PSC inspections worldwide post the slump in
inspections due to the Covid pandemic in the previous three years. There was a total of 130
inspections in 11 PSC regimes worldwide with inspections becoming more stringent as access
to vessels became easier.
Compared to 1 detention in 2022, there were 8 detentions in 2023 and in terms of detention
rate, it constituted 6.15% detention rate compared to 0.87% in 2022. The 130 inspections
resulted in about 278 deficiencies that is about 2.13 deficiencies per vessel. 67 vessels had
NIL deficiencies ie. 51.53% of all inspected vessels resulted in NIL deficiencies.
