A Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) on Safety of Navigation in Riyadh MoU has been announced by the Riyadh MoU (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates). The campaign will last for three months, from 1 October 2015 to 31 December 2015.

During the CIC, Port State Control Officers (PSCO) will go through a questionnaire with 12 selected items to establish if a vessel is in compliance with the requirements of the SOLAS V regulation. Some areas of concern are AIS, VDR, and to ensure that watch keeping officers are familiar with this equipment. Depending on the nature of the deficiencies found during the CIC, the PSCO will either register a deficiency with a given due date for rectification or detain the vessel if serious deficiencies have been identified. The press release from Riyadh MoU with the questionnaire of 12 selected items is attached to this update for your guidance (Annex I).
