This is a Consultation on proposed new Merchant Shipping (Port State Control) Regulations to revise the existing 2011 Regulations by updating the list of International Conventions in the Regulations. The proposed Regulations will also remove references to EU legislation and introduce wording directly from the Paris MoU to ensure there is no impact on the Port State Control (PSC) regime in the UK.
