INTRODUCTION This document is intended to be a “User Guide” on the electronic OOW Port State Control (PSC) report developed in Tableau software environment. This report is based on data analysed from January 2015 onwards. The OOW PSC Report can be found in the following link:

https://public.tableau.com/profile/officerofthewatch#!/vizhome/OOWPSCReport/PSCMoUsMap

The report that can be found in the above link can be accessed freely by anyone and no user login is required. The report is comprised of the following tabs:

1. PSC MoUs Map 2. PSC MoUs Port Analysis 3. PSC MoUs Comparison 4. PSC MoUs Summary 5. PSC MoUs Country Analysis 6. USCG Detentions Map 7. USCG Deficiencies 8. USCG Ports Detentions

Each tab presents analytics on inspections data from various PSC MoUs and it should be noted that each tab of the report is fully interactive therefore depending on the filters that the user applies on each tab different conclusion can be reached based on the relevant representation of data. Although with tableau software analysis can reach a very detailed level and complicated filters may be applied, the OOW PSC Report on tableau was developed under the scope of being as user friendly and as simple as possible. The aim of this report is to highlight trends and information from the majority of the PSC MoUs for the following:

Map overview of ports and respective PSC MoU inspections carried out.

Number of inspections per PSC MoU and per vessel type being conducted each quarter at port around the world

Deficiency ratio of ports around the world

Comparison of inspections and deficiency/detention ratio of ports and countries

Map overview of ports and respective USCG detentions

Number of detentions per US port along with description of deficiencies raised during these detentions. For the purposes of this report and in order to specifically focus on the types of vessels that comprise the majority of the worldwide merchant fleet, the data analyzed are focusing on the following types of vessels:

1. Bulk Carrier 2. Chemical Tanker 3. Containership 4. General Cargo Ship 5. Oil Tanker

It should be noted that some countries (e.g. Australia, Indonesia etc) belong to more than one PSC MoU therefore there is the possibility that the data from certain inspections/ports may be duplicated.

TAB NO.01 – PSC MOUs MAP

1. The report by default opens on an initial dashboard with the name “PSC MoUs Map”. The other tabs of the report can be either accessed through the drop down button located on the upper left corner of each tab or by simply selecting any tab name at the top of each tab screen.

2. To the right of each tab a series of filters can be found. These filters can be used in order to focus on specific types of vessels, specific dates, MoUs etc. It should be noted that whenever a filter is applied in one tab the same filter is also applied to the other tabs as well (with the exception of the USCG tabs that have separate filters from the PSC MoU tabs). The filters contained in the OOW PSC Report are:

a. Date: Can be used for filtering specific from/to dates that the user wants to focus. b. Detention Ratio: Filters ports with the detention rate that the user has set in the filter (e.g. detention

ratio from 5% up until 100%) c. Vessel Type: Filters inspections/ports on the map for specific types of vessels. d. PSC MoUs: Filters the inspections/ports on the map based on the PSC MoUs. e. Country: Filters the inspections/ports on the map based on the Countries. f. Port: Filters the inspections/ports on the map based on the Port.

3. This part of the “PSC MoUs Map” tab represents a Map pinpointing the various inspections that have been carried out throughout the world. By selecting one specific dot/port on the map (red/green) the port list at the bottom of the map is filtered showing inspections data for that port specifically, by clicking elsewhere on the map the port that has been previously selected is un-selected. In addition by simply hovering over any dot/port on the map, basic data about that specific port are being shown on a window that pops up.

4. This part of the “PSC MoUs Map” tab represent a list with ports worldwide where PSC inspections took place. By scrolling up/down in this list and selecting any port the user want will result in highlighting the relevant port on the map above. By clicking again elsewhere on the list the filter that has been applied is de-selected.

5. It should be noted that each filter has a search capability on the values that the user may select. This is very useful when the user want to filter data in any tab of the report based on countries or ports of preference. To easily and quickly select from Country/Port filter one specific value or more the quickest way is to:

a. Uncheck the “All” box. This will cause all relevant values of that filter to be un-selected and so temporarily the report of the tab will not be shown since no data have been selected for display.

b. Hover the mouse cursor on the upper right corner of the filter over the “search icon” and click it.

c. After clicking on the “search icon” a search bar will pop up just below of the filter title. In there the user

may search any specific country or port. If the port exists in the database then it will appear as per below screenshot and the user can select that specific port and on the tab of the report data will appear corresponding to that particular selection.

d. Subsequently the user may keep the initial search value “ticked” and search for other ports as well and

“tick” these as well so that eventually the report will display data from the specific countries/ports the user has selected.

e. Any filter that may have been chosen can be remove by clicking on the “remove filter icon” that is shown below. By clicking on this icon the initial/default selection of the filter will be applied, that is to display all data.

The above filters, depending on the preferences of the user, capabilities of the report help in focusing on specific areas of the world or to specific vessel types.

TAB NO.06 – USCG DETENTIONS MAP

This tab, in a similar way with the “PSC MoUs Map” shows the US ports where detentions of vessels occurred for the date period set in the filter to the right of the tab. The basic difference of this map with the “PSC MoUs Map” is that this map only shows the number of detentions. By hovering the mouse over a specific port then a window pops up showing the particulars of each port and the number of detentions of each port.

ABOUT THE OFFICER OF THE WATCH Officer of the Watch (OOW) is a project focusing on a variety of themes that are related directly or indirectly to merchant vessels and offshore operations. The aim of the Officer of the Watch is to highlight selected maritime and offshore news and articles in an alternative approach with a more practical and easy to read method, making OOW an important training tool to anyone who seeks knowledge or is involved in the maritime and offshore industry. OOW was initially developed, during 2011, as a self-learning tool for maritime issues, but slowly took the form of an informative blog. In the process more young professionals willing to participate to the project got involved and thus the OOW Team was formed. For more information visit officerofthewatch.com. For any queries or feedback regarding the present publication please contact us by sending a direct message to info@officerofthewatch.com.
