SuperRonin: PSC inspections and deficiencies on the vessel card

27 Oct 2026

A superintendent on the SuperRonin pilot sent two screenshots from the Ship Info app: a detention in Novorossiysk in October 2025 and one in Limassol in March 2024, each with its deficiency codes. The question was simple: can the vessel card show this too? It can now.

PSC inspections is a new register under Follow up, next to Conditions and Remarks. One entry is one inspection: date, port and country, regime (Paris, Black Sea, Mediterranean, Tokyo and the rest), type of inspection, the inspecting authority, whether the ship was detained and when it was released. Inside it goes the list from Form B, one line per deficiency: the five-digit code, the text, the action taken code, detainable or not, RO responsible or not, and whether it's closed.

You don't need to remember the codes. The form suggests all 587 harmonised codes from the Tokyo MoU list, and typing 14104 fills in "Oil filtering equipment". Scans of Form A and Form B go under Files, like a certificate scan.

→ Condition. An open deficiency usually means a deadline. The button next to it creates a condition with the code and text, the inspection as the issuer and a due date taken from the action code: the inspection day for 17 and 30, two weeks for 16, three months for 18. From then on it behaves like any other condition: it appears in the fleet list, the bell rings before the date and you close it with a note on how it was fixed.

On the vessel card there is now a Port State control block. It lists the newest inspections, with detentions marked, their deficiencies and whether the RO was responsible, plus how many inspections, detentions and deficiencies were recorded in the last 36 months. That window is the one the MoU risk profiles use. The counts come from what's in the register, so the block doesn't pretend to be the official risk profile.

Why you still type it in. We went through the public PSC databases before writing any code. THETIS, the Paris MoU database, answers without a captcha but forbids storing its records in another system without written permission. The Tokyo and Black Sea MoU databases sit behind a captcha. So the card links to THETIS, THETIS-Med, APCIS, BSIS, the USCG's PSIX and Equasis, with a button that copies the IMO number, and the search stays yours. We're asking the MoU secretariats for official data access. If they agree, inspections will start arriving on their own.

Detentions ring the bell. When a colleague records a detention, the owner, admins and superintendents who see that vessel get a bell notice. A routine inspection without a detention doesn't ring; its deadlines ring through Conditions.

The register uses the same role switches as the others, so the account on board can add an inspection and upload Form B, while changing the dates later stays with the office. Earlier today the circulars feed started reading the Paris, Tokyo and Abuja MoUs; the fleet certificates register is where it all started.
