The member port state control authorities of the Tokyo and the Paris Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) on Port State Control are to launch a joint Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) on Ballast Water Management (BWM).

The BWM inspection campaign will be held for three months, commencing September 1, 2025 and ending November 30, 2025. A ship will be subject to only one inspection under this CIC during the period of the campaign.

The Tokyo MOU is one of the most active regional port state control (PSC) organizations in the world. It has 22 member authorities in the Asia-Pacific region. The mainly European-focused Paris MOU currently has 28 nations, including Canada among its member authorities. The Russian Federation is currently suspended until further notice.

The purpose of the campaign is to determine if ships meet the mandatory requirements for Ballast Water Management (BWM) as prescribed in the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water
