PSC detention search

Aggregated public detention records from the Paris MoU and Tokyo MoU port-state-control regimes. Use this to vet a ship before joining — a vessel detained recently is statistically more likely to have unresolved safety, manning, or compliance issues.

Data is scraped from the public detention lists weekly and held for 2 years. Other regional MoUs (USCG, AMSA, Indian Ocean MoU, Black Sea MoU, Caribbean MoU, Riyadh MoU, Mediterranean MoU, Viña del Mar Agreement, Abuja MoU) publish their own lists; this index covers Paris and Tokyo only at present.

See /reference/port-state-control for context on how PSC works, what triggers detention, and what crew rights apply during inspection.
