The UK P&I Club believes its loss prevention efforts are paying off based on an Intercargo report showing that its members had the lowest number of deficiencies discovered by Port State Control officers in 2012.
"We are heartened by the excellent performance of our dry cargo vessels in averaging such a low number of deficiencies, both overall and in relation to other P&I Clubs," said risk management director Thomas Miller.
"However, we are not really surprised. We put great effort into working together with our underwriters and account managers on risk reduction and quality of membership. It's nice to see this paying off," he said.
The UK Club has been stressing the importance of Port State Control compliance in recent years via a series of pocket checklists majoring on PSC inspection procedures, marine fire safety, life saving appliances, marine pollution, ISM/ISPS and the Marine Labour Convention.
Members have also benefited from the club's own risk assessment team who examine bulkers and other entered vessels for their overall condition with an eye on the requirements of Port State Control.
