answer text <p>The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) carry out a maximum four year cycle of audits of the Overseas Territory (OT)/Crown Dependency (CD) Administrations, the scope of which is covered in the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the UK Government and the individual Government of the OTs and CDs for the operation of their British shipping register. The MOU contains an obligation to ensure that all vessels registered, that are subject to safe manning criteria, are properly crewed and certificated to International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) standards.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The MCA surveyors also carry out targeted inspections of Red Ensign Group (REG) ships visiting UK ports under the Merchant Shipping Act. If examples of a failure to comply are identified, the MCA has at its disposal the same control measures as for Port State Control, i.e. detention, prohibition notices, improvement notices and defect rectification. Findings of these inspections are fed back to the MCA to follow-up with the relevant REG administration.</p><p> </p>
