Summary
GeneratedDirective 2009/16/EC recasts EU port State control, requiring Member States to inspect foreign ships calling at their ports under a risk-based scheme, with high-risk vessels inspected at least every six months. It harmonizes inspection, detention and refusal-of-access procedures, building on the Paris MOU. Member States had to transpose by 31 December 2010 and apply the rules from 1 January 2011.
