Increase in Preventable Port State Control Detentions Highlights Aging Fleet Issues

Increase in Preventable Port State Control Detentions Highlights Aging Fleet Issues

A report by Survitec reveals a 70% increase in port state control (PSC) detentions over the past five years, despite a stable number of inspections. The report indicates that detentions are no longer limited to problematic ships, with one in seven merchant ships likely to be detained at least once in the next three years. The aging global fleet, with a significant portion of ships over 25 years old, is a major factor contributing to this trend. Common deficiencies leading to detentions include failures in the International Safety Management code, fire safety, and life-saving appliances.

Ghana's Takoradi Floating Dock Project Secures Funding to Enhance Ship Repair Facilities

Ghana's Takoradi Floating Dock Project Secures Funding to Enhance Ship Repair Facilities

The Takoradi Floating Dock Project in Ghana has successfully secured $9.7 million in funding from the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), closing the final funding gap for the $137 million initiative. This project aims to establish a modern commercial-scale ship repair and dry docking facility in the Gulf of Guinea, capable of handling vessels up to 200 meters in length. The development is a partnership with the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority under a 25-year concession agreement. The facility is strategically located near the Port of Takoradi, approximately 140 miles from Accra, the capital of Ghana. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance ship repair infrastructure in West Africa, a region experiencing increased vessel traffic and deepwater drilling operations.
