Who This Service Is For
Shipowners and technical managers who want an independent internal check on a vessel's likely Port State Control attention areas ahead of a port call.
When It Is Needed
Ahead of a known or expected Port State Control inspection, or as routine practice before calling a Türkiye port, while there is still time to address anything found.
What May Be Reviewed
Machinery space condition, safety equipment readiness, pollution-prevention equipment, maintenance evidence, and the status of any outstanding defects or follow-up items, subject to access and scope agreed in advance.
Report Output
A structured report documenting the areas reviewed and observations made, to support the owner or manager in confirming readiness before the vessel is boarded.
Internal Review, Not a PSC Authority
Apeks Marine & Engineering holds no Port State Control enforcement role and does not act on behalf of any PSC, flag-state, or class authority. This review is an internal technical exercise for the owner or manager, and a clean outcome at the official inspection is not guaranteed.
