The report includes statistics and data analysis on ships detained by PSC, as well as typical defective photos. In 2023, 419 PSC detentions were reported for 398 ships classed by ClassNK. āFire safety deficienciesā such as āfire-dampersā, āfixed fire extinguishing installationā, and āfire pumpsā were pointed out as the most commonly detainable deficiencies.
