IOM Ship Registry PSC Notice – Q1 2026

The Isle of Man Ship Registry's Q1 2026 Port State Control analysis reveals critical deficiency patterns across Manx flagged vessels, with fire safety, emergency preparedness, and life-saving equipment emerging as the three highest-risk areas. From malfunctioning emergency generators to improperly maintained lifeboat equipment, these findings underscore the urgent need for vessel operators to reassess their inspection readiness before their next port call.
