Performance lists Paris MoU

The Paris MoU Committee approved at its 57th meeting the 2023 inspection results and adopted new performance lists for flag States and Recognized Organizations. These lists will be used from 1 July 2024.

 

The “White, Grey and Black (WGB) List” presents the full spectrum, from quality flags to flags with a poor performance that are considered high or very high risk. It is based on the total number of inspections and detentions during a 3-year rolling period for flags with at least 30 inspections in that period.

 

 

A total number of 71 flags are listed:

• 42 on the Whitelist
• 17 on the Grey List
• 12 on the Blacklist

 

 

For several years, the Committee has closely monitored the performance of Recognized Organizations (ROs), acting on behalf of flag States. To calculate the performance of ROs, the same formula to calculate the excess factor of flag States is used. A minimum number of 60 inspections per RO is needed before the performance is taken into account for the list.  For 2023, 32 ROs have been included in the performance list.

 

 

More information can be found in the 2023 Annual Report that will be published 1st of July.
