First impressions are essential. The PSC inspector expects to see that: safe, compliant, well-lit, properly attended embarkation arrangements are in place there is a clean manifold area, save-alls are clean and plugged, pipes and valves are painted and flanges and hoses are properly bolted the cargo control room is tidy and professional-looking with paperwork to hand, and has no old kit or old sample jars lying around covers and plates on deck are properly bolted all necessary signage is in place and professional-looking lighting, especially ex-rated, is intact, with no broken covers or missing screws moorings and winches look seamanlike; a more diligent inspector may check that render limits are calibrated and that brake bands are calibrated for 60% of minimum breaking load on self-tension mooring winches.
