EMSA has been tasked to develop, in cooperation with Member States and the European Commission, an information system in support of the New Inspection Regime stemming from the Port State Control Directive (EU) 2009/16/EC. The design and creation of an effective inspection system is crucial for the implementation of this Inspection Regime and assisting Member States with harmonization of PSC procedures, and execution thereof, through centralized storage and distribution of reports.

THETIS implements all the processes and interfaces in line with the EMSA founding Regulation 1406/2002. Notably,

• assists Member States with targeting and selection of vessels for inspection through continuous profiling of seagoing ships.
• Assists the Commission and Member States by providing statistics on inspection results and performance.
• Monitors performance of Member States in relation to their obligations under the Directive (so called “annual commitment”).
• Provides a system to support reporting of inspections by non-EU members party to the Paris MoU on Port State Control.
