Why SOLAS Inspections Matter

SOLAS compliance is essential for vessel safety and smooth port operations. Failing inspections leads to costly delays and potential detentions.

Top 5 Failures Found During SOLAS & PSC Inspections

1. Expired Certificates: Liferafts, extinguishers, and radio equipment out of date.
2. Liferaft Deficiencies: Outdated HRUs, damaged canisters, or poor stowage.
3. Fire-Fighting Equipment Issues: Missing extinguishers, low-pressure SCBAs, untested foam.
4. GMDSS Failures: Dead EPIRB batteries, faulty NAVTEX, no VDR APT certificate.
5. Calibration & Gas Detection: Expired or missing calibration certificates.

How to Avoid These Failures

• Keep a digital log of all service certificates.
• Schedule services in advance of port calls.
• Train crew on regular maintenance checks.
