From The Flag State Duty For Inspections To The Remote Port State Control. The Necessity For Distant Controls

ABSTRACT: Inspections are aiming at maritime safety. This paper describes the central role of flag states in controlling the vessels that are registered at their national register. However, the effectiveness of the inspections is mainly based on the Port State Control (PSC) inspections that are following the needs of the digital era introducing the remote controls.
