The Paris MoU has announced an upcoming Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) on Crew Wages and Seafarer Employment Agreements under MLC from September to November 2024. Other PSC MoUs are expected to participate in the campaign. CICs run yearly and focus on an area where there is a risk of non-compliance.
During 2023 the Paris MoU conducted, on a trial basis, Focused Inspection Campaigns (FICs) aimed at improving the effectiveness of inspection campaigns. These focused inspections have now been carried out on Pilot Transfer Arrangements, Electronic Chart Display Information Systems (ECDIS) and on the Galley. The Paris MoU will continue to implement FICs, announced and unannounced.
Future CICs will look into Ballast Water Management (2025) and Cargo Securing (2026).
