Introduction
This annual report is to offer ship management companies and others concerned with ship
safety management systems analysis of cases where deficiencies related to ISM Code
requirements were recorded as a result of port state control (PSC) inspection, which may be
useful in reviewing a ship safety management system for its improvement.
The analysis was made with information available from reports of PSC inspections that were
carried out in the world in the year 2007 for ships holding an international safety management
certificate issued by ClassNK under the authorization of the flag administration. Statistic data
of such cases in the past several years are also presented to show changes by calendar year.
It comprises of two chapters. Chapter 1 presents analysis of the cases where deficiencies
related to ISM Code requirements were recorded in the PSC reports showing comparison of
number of such cases per type, age, gross tonnage and flag of ship, number of ships under
the management, etc. of Company and port state. Chapter 2 focuses on the deficiencies
recorded and actions required by port states for their rectification.
In this report, terms defined below are used.
NKSMC ship
Ship holding an international safety management certificate issued by
ClassNK
NKDOC company
Company holding a Document of Compliance issued by ClassNK
ISM deficiency
Deficiency of a safety management system related to a requirement of
ISM Code
ISM deficiency case
Case where any ISM deficiencies were recorded in a PSC inspection
report
ISM deficiency ship
Ship having a safety management system an ISM deficiency of which
was recorded in a PSC inspection report
ISM deficiency rate*
percentage of ISM deficiency ships to the whole NKSMC ships or a group
of NKSMC ships in consideration
*
Defining ISM deficiency rate as percentage of ISM deficiency cases to NKSMC ships that subjected to a PSC
inspection is more meaningful. However, as the total number of such NKSMC ships is unknown, the total
number of the whole or a group of NKSMC ships was used instead.

(a) Per type of ship
ISM deficiency rate per type of ship is shown in Table 1.2.1(a) and Figure 1.2.1(a).
z
The ISM deficiency rate of bulk carrier was 4.8% and keeping highest apart from chemical
tanker the total number of which is so small to compare.
z
The ISM deficiency rate of oil tanker increased to 2.3% from the rate of 0.6% in 2006.
z
The ISM deficiency rate of gas carrier was 0.5% (only one case) and keeping lowest with the
exception of passenger & modu total number of which is negligible.

Figure 1.2.1(a) ISM deficiency rate per type of ship
(b) Per age of ship
The numbers of ISM deficiency ships per age group of ship in 2004 to 2007 are shown in Table
1.2.1(b) together with the numbers of NKSMC ship and the ISM deficiency rates in Figure
1.2.1(b)-1, and ISM deficiency rate per type and age group of ship in 2007 in Figure 1.2.1(b)-2.
z
The older a ship is the greater the ISM deficiency rate tends to be. This tendency is
remarkable for bulk carriers. This is attributed to the increase in the number of deficiencies
due to inadequate maintenance of ship including equipment and fittings with aging of ships.

Per factors related to Company
Note: The analysis presented in this section covers only NKSMC ships under the management of NKDOC
Companies but not those issued with DOC by another organization.
(a) Per number of ships under management of Company
ISM deficiency rate per group of Companies corresponding to the number of ships under their
management in 2007 are shown in Table 1.2.2(a) together with ISM deficiency rate.
z
The ISM deficiency rate of the group of 41-50 ships is 6.3%, the highest, followed by that of
1-5 ships ,4.3% and next by that of 16-20, 3.9%, which is higher than the average.
z
In 2006 the ISM deficiency rate was higher for the groups with small number of ships under
their management. However, in 2007, the rate increased for the group with larger number of
ships under their management such as the group of 16-20 and that of 41-50 too.

The numbers of ISM deficiency cases and ISM deficiency rate per length of Company’s operation
of ship safety management system in 2007 are shown in Table 1.2.2(b) and Figure 1.2.2(b). The
length of Company’s SMS operation, in terms years, is based on the assumption that the
Companies started such operation when it was issued with NKDOC for the first time.
z
Although the ISM deficiency rate shows lower figures for the groups with 9 years or more of
length of SMS operation there was no significant difference of the figures among all the
groups depending upon the length of the Company’s SMS operation.

Analysis with collected ISM deficiency data, which are summarized in Table 2.3.1, and the
descriptions of ISM deficiencies related to the requirements of ISM Code Sections 6 to 10
recorded in PSC inspection reports along with PSC actions are presented below.
For more information an extract from reports of PSC inspections carried out in Australia, China,
Japan, Korea, India, Brazil, U.S.A., Canada, U.K., French, Italy, Netherlands, Russia and Iran in
2007 is given at the Appendix showing the descriptions of ISM deficiencies together with relevant
deficiencies on ship constructions, equipment, etc.
General
z
Among PSC actions, per Action Code, applied to the ISM deficiencies, the number of the
deficiencies related to “non-conformity to be rectified within 3 months (Action Code 18)” was
82, the largest one which accounted for 34%, followed by those related to “grounds for
detention (Action Code 30)” accounting for 18.3% and those related to “deficiencies to be
rectified before departure (Action Code 17)” accounting for 12.4%.
z
The detainable deficiencies in 2007 decreased to 44 from 61 in 2006.
decreased to 18.3% from 22% in 2006.
ISM Code Section 6
z
The percentage also
Resources and personnel
The ratio of ISM deficiencies related to “resources and personnel” to the whole has been
decreasing. However, requirement for personal understanding of contingency performance,
operation of safety equipment and environment protection equipment and operation of
GMDSS facilities is increasing as well as requirement for quality of ballast water management
system in PSC inspection. These requirements are not only completeness of documents or
records but sometimes extended to observation of personal performance. For example, upon
requirement of demonstrations and comparison with the records and documents, it is reported
that records are not comparable with the actual or unreliable records and documents are
exist.
ISM Code Section 7
Development of plans for shipboard operations
z
In ISM related deficiencies, the ratio of relating ISM Code Sec. 7 was 13.3 %, this number
was the second largest number after the relating ISM Code Sec. 10.
z
The observed deficiency examples are as follows.
(a) BWM (Ballast Water Management) Plan is missing sampling point locations and no
record of tank sediment is being kept.
(b) Crew attempted bunkering operation without C/E who went ashore, which did not comply
with relevant requirements of the ship’s SMS.
(c) Passage /Voyage planning procedures were not updated to include necessary
information.
(d) Ship didn’t make voyage planning for last port based on operation manual.
(e) Shipboard hatch cover maintenance plan did not comply with MSC169(79).
(f) Several documents used to essential shipboard procedures are not in accordance with
the SＭＳ.
ISM Code Section 8
z
Emergency preparedness
The rate of ISM deficiencies related to this element of safety management systems
decreased. However the number of these deficiencies was 27 and 7 out of 27 were treated
under action code 30 “grounds for detention”.
12
z
The deficiencies can be divided into the following three cases as same as those in 2006.
(a) The crew were found unfamiliar with the procedures of abandon ship and/or fire
protection and extinguishing, or operation of lifeboats & launching appliances, or a fixed
fire extinguishing system.
(b) Abandon ship drill and fire drills were not carried out as required, or not recorded properly
if carried out, in particular launching and maneuvering of lifeboats at interval of 3 months.
(c) Serious damages or malfunctioning were found on life-saving appliances, fire
extinguishing systems or communication systems*
* e.g. emergency fire pump, fire damper, F.O. tank shut-down system, MF/HF radio
z
There were not a little deficiencies raised which indicated that the records for drills had not
properly been conducted.
ISM Code Section 9
z
Reports and analysis of non-conformities, accidents and
hazardous occurrences
Typical cases where deficiencies related to the above requirements were pointed out are
as follows.
(a) Malfunctioning of a number of equipments* had not been reported to the Company as
non-conformities.
* e.g. unusable chain controller of windlass, leakage of hydraulic oil pipes, pipe doublers
patches and a large hole on air pipe
(b) Deficiencies recorded in previous PSC inspection reports had not been reported to the
Company in accordance with the SMS procedure.
ISM Code Section 10
Maintenance of the ship and equipment
z
The percentage of PSC actions by the Action Code applied to deficiencies related to the
maintenance was the largest and it accounted for 38% of all the deficiencies which is almost
same as that in 2006.
z
Among the PSC actions by the Action Code mentioned above: “NC to be rectified within 3
months” accounted 39% (49% in 2006), “ground for detention” 18% (23% in 2006) and
“deficiencies to be rectified before departure” 8% (15% in 2006 )
z
Cases where the ISM deficiencies related to maintenance were pointed out can be divided
into the following four:
(a)
A serious damage or malfunctioning of constructions, equipment or systems for safety
or environmental protection* was found
* e.g. lifeboat including engine and release gear & launching appliance, emergency
fire pump and fixed CO2 fire-extinguishing system, hull construction and oily water
separator, fire damper and steering gear.
(b)
Lots of deficiencies were found on construction, equipment, systems or fittings for safety,
environmental protection or crew accommodation.
(c)
Periodical inspection or tests of equipment or systems were not carried out as required
by regulations or the SMS procedures.
* e.g. test of alarm system, checking of batteries
13
(d) Such deficiencies as mentioned above had not been reported to the Company or the
activities of inspection and repairs onboard the ship had not been recorded properly in
accordance with the SMS procedure.
