Pre-PSC Inspections
PRE-ARRIVAL INSPECTION READINESS
Who this is for

Built for the teams accountable when PSC boards.

For owners, operators, technical teams and fleet managers who need to know what may fail before the inspector finds it.

Shipowners

Protect schedule, reputation and commercial continuity.

Operators

Identify what must be corrected before arrival.

Technical Managers

Prioritize detainable risks and technical evidence.

DPA / CSO Teams

Verify SMS, drills, crew readiness and onboard discipline.

Fleet Managers

Rank exposure across vessels, ports and inspection windows.

Charter-Facing Teams

Reduce delay risk before commercial commitments are affected.

Vessels with Previous PSC Deficiencies

Close repeated findings before they become stronger evidence against the vessel.

Upcoming Calls to High-Scrutiny Ports

Prepare for ports where inspection standards are stricter and tolerance is lower.

When to book

Bring Rajyn in before a manageable gap becomes a PSC problem.

Pre-PSC support is most valuable when the vessel is approaching a port call, carrying previous findings, or facing higher inspection exposure.

Before arrival

After previous PSC deficiencies

Before U.S., Australia, China or EU port calls

Before charterer or terminal scrutiny

After crew change

After long voyages or heavy operations

When documentation confidence is low

Ship Registration Resources

Decision-grade guidance before you commit

Rajyn keeps its inspectors aligned with current PSC trends and recurring detention findings, ensuring every assessment focuses on the areas most likely to affect your vessel’s inspection outcome.

Ship Registration Document Checklist

Prepare the documents before they become the reason for delay

Ship registration requirements vary by registry, vessel and transaction, but most cases rely on the same core groups of documents. Use this checklist to identify what is already available, what needs updating and what may require coordination with owners, class, financiers or the current registry.

The complete checklist is available after a short enquiry.

Flag Transfer, Mortgage & Bareboat Guide

Complex registration changes need the right sequence

Flag transfers, ship mortgages and bareboat registrations often involve several parties at the same time: owner, manager, current registry, new registry, class, lender, lessor, charterer and legal advisers.

The main challenge is usually not one individual document. It is making sure every approval, certificate and closing action happens in the correct order.

The complete transaction guide is available after a short enquiry.
