As final activity of the Common Core Curriculum for Port State Control Officers (PSCOs) of the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU), an in-person session took place on 3 and 4 December 2024 at the premises of European Maritime Safety Agency.

The session was opened to the participants from the Med MoU Members who had successfully completed the required assignments and was attended by 19 Port State Control Officers from Algeria, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, and Türkiye. All participants successfully completed the activities and obtained the Certificate of Completion.

The in-person session covered the Learning Outcomes linked to the ship inspection. It focused on practical scenarios providing the participants with a methodology to inspect the different ship’s areas by using the EMSA’s tool RuleCheck to identify the applicable regulations. Furthermore, the participants familiarised with THETIS-MED, the memorandum database, by uploading the report of the simulated inspection completed during the course.
