Abstract

In recent years, the role of Port State Control (PSC) with respect to polar navigation has become increasingly important. However, international rules for PSC of fishing vessels plying polar waters are incomplete and uniform inspection guidelines have not yet been adopted, nor has a coordinated mechanism been created. This article argues that fishing vessels should be incorporated into the Polar Code and that at the practical level, states should promote the application of the Port State Control Officer Guidelines adopted under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding and encourage cooperation among the different PSC organizations that cover polar waters.

加强极地水域的港口国控制

摘要

近年来，港口国控制（PSC）在极地航行方面的作用变得越来越重要。但是，关于在极地航行的渔船进行PSC的国际规则并不完整，尚未采用统一的检查准则，也未建立协调机制。本文认为，渔船应纳入《极地法典》中，并且在实践上，各国应促进《巴黎谅解备忘录》通过的《港口国管制官指南》的应用，并鼓励涵盖极地的不同PSC组织之间的合作。水域。
