PARIS MOU NEW INSPECTION REGIME(NIR)
NEW INSPECTION REGIME
NIR of Paris MOU has entered into force on 1st January 2011. with introduction of NIR, Paris MOU will change its target of inspecting 25% of individual ships calling at each member state to a shared commitment for full coverage of inspecting all ships visiting ports and anchorages in the region. Information collection was started from 17 june 2009. Features of NIR :-
1) SHIP RISK PROFILE:- SRP is based on following factors using details of ship inspection in Paris MOU in last 36 months.
GENERIC FACTOR HISTORICAL FACTOR
--- Type of ship --- Deficiencies
--- Age of ship --- Detentions
--- Flag( whether undertaken voluntary IMO member state audit scheme)
--- recognized organization
--- Company (enforcing ISM)
According to above factors ships will be classed as:-
HRS -- High risk ship -- with points having 5 or more
SRS -- Standard risk ship -- which is neither LRS nor HRS
LRS -- Low risk ship -- Meets all criteria of low risk parameter.
For calculating SRP ----- Points
Ship type oil, chemical, Gas bulk, passenger 2
Age >= 12 1
Flag Black- VHR, HR, Med to HR 2
Black- Med risk 1
RO Low, very low 1
Company Low, Very low 2
No. of detentions in
last 36 months >=2 1
2) COMPANY PERFORMANCE:- This is the new parameter in the Paris MOU inspection regime. It takes into account detention and deficiency history of all ship's in a ISM's company fleet. It is calculated daily over 36 months period. ISM deficiency will cause 5 points and rest 1 point.
a)Deficiency index of company= No. of deficiencies in all inspection in all ship / No. of inspections in all ships
b) Detention index = No. of detention of all ship / No. of inspection in all ship
Company performance will be classed as High, medium, low, very low.
Index will be classified as
a) Below average -- if > 2 points below Paris MOU average
b) Average -- if Paris MOU average + or - 2 ponits
c) above average -- if. 2 points above Paris MOU average
3) INSPECTION INTERVAL AND PRIORITY:-
a) HRS -- Priority II - between 5-6 months of last inspection
Priority I -- after 6 months of last inspection
b) SRS -- Priority II- 10-12 months of last inspection
Priority I - after 12 months of last inspection
c) LRS -- Priority II - 24- 36 months of last inspection
Priority I- after 36 months of last inspection
But there are some over riding factors also for inspection. Over riding factors are Priority I :- i) Collision ii) Illegal discharge iii) Unsafe manoeuvering iv) Suspended or withdrawn class v) No ship data in data base.
Unexpected factors are for priority II:- i) Outstanding deficiencies ii) previously detained ship iii) Complaint iv) Cargo problem v) reporting by pilot
4) REPORTING OBLIGATION :- a) 72 hrs before ETA if eligible for expanded inspection. b) All ships with HRP c) Any bulk carrier, tankers, passenger ships . 12 years of age.
24 hrs before ETA for every ship.
5) REFUSAL OF ACCESS:-
* If ship flies black listed flag, it will be banned after more than 2 detentions in the last 36 months.
* If the ship flies grey flag it will be banned after more than 2 detentions in the last 24 months.
Lifting of ban :- a) 1st ban -- after 3 months
b) 2nd ban -- after 12 months
c) 3rd ban -- after 24 months
d) 4th ban -- permanent
As a chief engineer if my ship is going to Paris MOU region, first of all I will check my ship's profile and will check that no ISM related deficiencies are there.
