[6] Ship inspection database and Inspection rate in AMSA

AMSA maintains the Shipsys Database which helps to calculate the risk factor of an individual ship. This lets AMSA identify and then target high risk ships for inspection.

The database information includes the general particulars of a ship, its PSC inspection history, including information from the Indian MoU and Tokyo MoU.

The Shipsys Database then uses this data to calculate the probability of a ship being detained, expressing the result as a percentage which becomes the risk factor. It is this risk factor that allows AMSA to target high risk ships and inspect them as required.

The selection of a ship for inspection depends upon a number of factors, including ;
  - environmental risk
  - ship complaints
  - our risk-based ship inspection targeting scheme

Please refer to the attachment which provides more information on the targeting system and priorities for inspection based on a calculated risk factor.
