due to notable de昀椀ciencies. This unfortunate occurrence
stemmed primarily from intensi昀椀ed inspection protocols
in China and maintenance shortcomings observed in
newly acquired vessels. It’s noteworthy that the number of
inspections has increased signi昀椀cantly, mainly due to 昀氀eet
expansion and PSC Concentrated Inspection Campaigns.
