AFSPort State Control Inspection

Initial inspection
- ships of Parties to the AFS Convention
IAFS Certificate or
Declaration on anti-fouling system
- ships of Non-Parties
Statement of compliance or
other documentation

10
AFSPort State Control Inspection

PSCO should verify
- the certificate is properly completed
- initial survey matches the drydock period
- only one tick-box in the IAFS is marked
- Record of anti-fouling system is up-to date

11

More Detailed inspection
clear grounds warrant a detailed inspection
- the ship is from a flag of a non-party to the
convention and there is no AFS documentation
- the ship is from a flag of a party to the
convention but there is no valid IAFS
Certificate
- the painting date shown on the IAFS
Certificate does not match the drydock period
of the ship
- the ships hull shows excessive patches of
different paints and
- the IAFS Certificate is not properly
completed.

12
AFSPort State Control Inspection

If the IAFS Certificate is not properly
completed the following questions may be
pertinent
- When was the ships anti-fouling system last
applied?
- If the anti-fouling system is controlled under
Annex 1 to AFS 2001 and was removed, what was
the name of the facility and date of the work
performed?
- If the anti-fouling system is controlled under
Annex 1 of AFS 2001 and has been covered by a
sealer coat, what was the name of the facility
and date applied?
.

13
AFSPort State Control Inspection

If the IAFS Certificate is not properly
completed the following questions may be
pertinent (continue)
- What is the name of the anti-fouling/sealer
products and the manufacturer or distributor
for the existing anti- fouling system? And
- If the current anti-fouling system was changed
from the previous system, what was the type of
anti-fouling system and name of the previous
manufacturer or distributor?

More Detailed inspection
- sampling and analysis may be included,
subject to practical feasibility or to
constraints relating to the safety of
persons, the ship or the port
- sample may be taken by contracted specialist
company or trained PSCO

sampling methodology
The guidelines to the Convention allow that
any other scientifically recognized method of
sampling and analysis of AFS controlled by
the Convention than those described in the
appendix to the Guidelines may be used
(subject to the satisfaction of the
Administration or the port State).

16
AFSPort State Control Inspection

Sample analysis
- It is to the discretion of the Authority to
choose which analysis methods are used
- a portable X-ray fluorescence analyzer or any
other scientifically justified method
allowing on-site analyses could be considered
best practice
- only make conclusions on compliance based on
the second stage (organotin) analysis of the
sample
