London: Lloyd's Register has published a Chinese edition of its Port State Control (PSC) pocket checklist for shipowners and operators, which identifies the top 50 most common causes of ship detention. Originally published in English in September 2005, more than 35,000 copies have now been distributed worldwide. "As China is the world's third largest seafaring nation, and this publication is ultimately for seafarers, we felt that a Chinese edition of the pocket checklist was a natural step," says Jim Barclay, PSC specialist, Lloyd's Register. Copies can be ordered free of charge from the classification society's website or obtained from local Group offices. [31/10/06]
