The 2026 Paris and Tokyo MoUs Joint Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) on Cargo Securing is currently underway, focusing on the effective implementation of the Cargo Securing Manual (CSM) and the proper securing of cargoes on board.

For shipowners, managers, and operators, this is an important opportunity to verify that the vessel’s cargo securing arrangements, procedures and documentation are fully aligned with the applicable requirements and effectively implemented on board.

To support our clients and the maritime industry, PMDS has issued PMDS Circular TC-14-26 (Rev.2), providing relevant technical guidance and key points to consider during PSC inspections.
