Course Description

This course provides an understanding of the basic idea of the Port State Control procedures and enables cadets to gather the existing knowledge base on the subject.  In addition, it aims to develop their skills to better understand what the PSC officers require during their controls and how to better communicate with the PSC officer in charge using the correct tone and maritime terminology.

 

Course Objectives

 

 Students who successfully pass the course will acquire knowledge required for Port State Control concept, existing MoUs on PSC and skills required for communicating with a PSC officer during an PSC inspection. Main objectives are:

  1. To briefly explain Port State Control (PSC) History & Concept
  2. To teach PSC terminology and frequently used phrases
  3. To make the students acquainted with procedures and  existing MoUs on PSC
  4. To familiarize students  with PSC check lists.
  5. To teach standard phrases used by safety officer  on board (SMCP B-2)
  6. To teach firefighting terminology and fire related communication.
  7. To teach LSA terminology and LSA  inspection related communication
  8. To improve students’ self-confidence in an inspection scenario by role playing

 

Course Learning Outcomes

 

Students who successfully pass the course will acquire information on history and necessity of PSC from safety of life at sea, environmental protection and working conditions at sea aspects. They will also improve their inspection communication skills. Students will be able to :

  1. Assess the importance of PSC  inspections
  2. Have an understanding of importance of individual on board duties and maintenance.
  3. Have a better understanding of the way that PSC system works global level.
