JOINT PARIS AND TOKYO MEMORANDA OF UNDERSTANDING CONCENTRATED INSPECTION CAMPAIGN (CIC): CARGO SECURING

The Member Authorities of the Tokyo and the Paris Memoranda of Understanding (MoU)
on Port State Control (PSC) will launch a joint Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC)
on cargo securing of cargo units and cargo transport units.
The CIC will be conducted from September 1, 2026 to November 30, 2029. The objective
of the campaign is to collect data on compliance with current SOLAS Convention
requirements with respect to the loading, stowage and securing of cargo units and cargo
transport units. Vessels will be subject to only one inspection under the CIC during the
period, per MOU.
Port State Control Officers will use a pre-defined questionnaire to assess compliance. A
copy of the questionnaire can be found by clicking here.
It is recommended that Members take note of this information and be guided accordingly.
