PSC CIC 2026 — Ready or Not
N/A — compliance readiness walkthrough
Generic cargo vessel · Any Paris MoU / Tokyo MoU port · August-November 2026
The Situation
It's August 2026. Your next port call falls inside the Paris/Tokyo MoU joint Concentrated Inspection Campaign window on cargo securing. You're reviewing the vessel's Cargo Securing Manual before the voyage.
The Lesson
A Cargo Securing Manual that exists on paper and a cargo securing regime that's actually followed and logged in practice are two different things -- the CIC is designed to find the gap between them.
Human Element
None of the individual gaps here are dramatic on their own -- a manual that's technically present but not vessel-specific, a wire lashing that's worn but not yet parted, a check that happened but wasn't logged. The CIC exists specifically because these ordinary-looking gaps, not catastrophic ones, are what usually turn up under real inspection.
Try the First Decision
The CSM on board looks standard for the vessel's class, but you haven't personally verified it reflects this specific ship's current configuration and cargo types. What do you do?
