Accumulated statistics from the 2001 Annual Reports of the Paris and Tokyo MoUs, and of the U.S. Coast Guard, show DNV to have the best record of all Classification Societies in terms of vessels detained following Port State Control inspection.

Based on total detentions throughout 2001, DNVs detention rate as a percentage of vessels inspected was 3.1%, compared to the average of 6.9% (all Class Societies) and 4.9% (IACS Members).

Says DNVs Magdy Shehata, The combined figures from these three Port State Control regimes represent some 90% of total 2001 detentions worldwide, and are regarded as a reliable indication of the performance of each Class Society. DNV has retained its No1 position, in terms of the least total detentions as a percentage of PSC inspections, for the past three years.
