The campaign at ports in Asia and Europe will run from 1 September to 30 November and will be conducted as part of regular PSC inspections.
A list of 10 pre-defined questions will be used by inspectors for the STCW campaign.
The campaign is aimed at confirming:
The number of seafarers serving on board and their certificates are in conformity with the relevant requirements
All seafarers serving on board, hold an appropriate certificate or a valid dispensation
The seafarers on board hold a valid medical certificate
The watch-keeping schedules and hours of rest indicate compliance with the relevant requirements
