Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether it is his policy that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency will continue to submit the results of Port State Control inspections of foreign flagged vessels in UK ports to the European Maritime Safety Agency’s THETIS database after the UK has left the EU.

Answer

The UK is a member of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (PMoU) on Port State Control (PSC).
