Which forms are to be completed at the conclusion of PSC exams?

The correct forms to be completed at the conclusion of Port State Control (PSC) exams are CG-5437-A and CG-5437-B. These forms are part of the documentation process during a PSC examination to ensure that all necessary data is collected and recorded appropriately.

CG-5437-A serves as the 'Port State Control Examination Report' which provides details of the examination results, findings, and any deficiencies noted during the inspection. This documentation is crucial for maintaining compliance with international maritime regulations and provides a clear record of the ship's condition at the time of inspection.

CG-5437-B is the 'Notification of Detention' or 'Notice of Violation' form used when a ship is detained due to serious deficiencies that pose a significant risk to safety, pollution, or security. Completing this form is vital for the involved parties to understand the rationale behind the detention and the steps necessary for compliance before the vessel can be released.

These forms together enable proper tracking and reporting of PSC activities and deficiencies, while also facilitating communication between the inspecting authorities and the ship's management. Thus, these forms are essential for upholding safety and regulatory standards in maritime operations.
