This is the 2007 Annual Port State Control (PSC) Report for the United States. The Coast Guard is strongly committed to sharing our PSC targeting methodology and publishing PSC compliance performance with the maritime community in our efforts to eliminate substandard shipping. On our thirteenth year of Port State Control in the United States, we continue to see a declining trend of detentions and major control actions imposed on foreign ships. This cumulative improvement is a testament to our mutual resolve to effectively address substandard shipping and indicates that the collective diligence of all involved parties, port State, flag State, Recognized Organizations, and vessel owner and operator efforts are paying off. In 2007, a total of 8,281 individual vessels, from 84 different Flag Administrations, made 82,937 port calls to the United States. The Coast Guard conducted 10,423 SOLAS safety exams and 8,901 ISPS exams on these vessels. The total number of ships detained in 2007 for safety related deficiencies increased from 110 to 152. The total number of ships detained in 2007 for security related deficiencies increased from 35 to 42. At the same time, the number of distinct arrivals from 2006 to 2007 increased from 8,178 to 8,281.
