Track each deficiency to closure
SuperRonin keeps your fleet's certificates, surveys and PSC inspections. Enter the deficiencies from Form B and one click turns each into a condition with the due date its action code gives, so the office sees what is open and the bell rings before the date. Free during the pilot.
Questions
What is a PSC deficiency code?
A five-digit number the port State control officer writes next to each deficiency on the inspection report (Form B). The first two digits give the area (07 is fire safety, 15 the ISM Code, 18 the MLC), the rest the item. The codes are harmonised between the MoUs, so 07109 means the same in Rotterdam, Novorossiysk and Singapore. This list has 587 of them.
What does the number after the deficiency mean, like 17 or 30?
That is the action taken code, not part of the deficiency code. 17 means rectify before departure, 16 within 14 days, 30 that the deficiency is a ground for detention. See action taken codes.
Where does this list come from?
From the Tokyo MoU public list of deficiency codes, July 2026 edition. The codes and titles are the same across the regimes; check the current edition of your MoU when a code looks unfamiliar.
How do I keep track of deficiencies across a fleet?
In SuperRonin each PSC inspection holds its deficiencies with code, action taken and RO responsibility, and one click turns a deficiency into a condition with a due date, so it shows in the fleet list and rings before it is due.
