port-state-control Let me start by asking this question. Can you be sure that your ship will always get "Nil" deficiency for each of the port state inspections done during your tenure? If Yes, then this post is not for you. That is because if there are no PSC deficiencies, there is nothing to handle. But I know and you know, that no one can be so sure about deficiencies during port state control inspections. Even if you work on the best ship in the world or with the  best company in the world, you still can't be sure of zero deficiencies during port state control. If not anything else, you may get a PSC deficiency to which you may not agree to. But that is not the question here. Question is, what action should the ship staff (particularly Master) take to avoid any delays to the vessel once a PSC deficiency has been identified. Let us begin.

    good day sir. we are here at algeria and the PSC officer attened our vessel. hegave a deficiency to the vessel for the unmanned gangway. but it is really not unmanned. the port security here is level two. my question is, is it really a detainable such offence? but the captain have their arrangement between the psc officer and the master. after the psc officer went off the master told us that he pay 500usd to clear the defiency. and the master the bounty he pay will deducted to our lashing and unlashing bonus. my 2nd quesrion is, is it fair to deducted to us such payment? i read my contract, mlc, sms and the charterers instruction and i undersrand there no such thing that the crew will pay for that kind of payment. anythoughts sir? if you may allow i can gave you a copy of my written statement of facts.

    Thank you sir for the very informative article. I have a query on appealing against detention. What should be the immediate action on detention. Whether to take action and rectify and later on to appeal., or whether to appeal against the unreasonable act of PSCO and go ahead with the panel decisions.

    While the blockchains themselves are secure, the applications running on the blockchain may not be. These applications interact with the blockchain through smart contracts, but just like any other software, bugs in the code can lead to security vulnerabilities. For this, we need to involve the auditors who conduct security audits on the smart contract. Smart Contract Audit helps you find hidden exploits and eventually reduce the risk and provide you an extra layer of security. Bug-free code is nice to have in other types of software, in blockchain applications, it is essential.

Factors that reflect the relationship Love and respect are two important factors that can make or break a relationship. The gay love spells are nothing but a powerful way of creating a situation where there is happiness and joy in the relationship. Once you have found the person that you love, you would never want anything to come in between. You will definitely want the person to be a part of your life always. The spell will help you protect your love and affection for each other for all times. The types of gay love spell. Gay love spell is considered both difficult and easy at the same time. There might be two situations possible one in which you fall in love with a heterosexual or one when you are involved with a homosexual. Heterosexual love. If it’s the former case then it will prove to be very difficult. A person who is heterosexual most probably develops a strong feeling of dejection and rejection. He will start fearing you and will make more distance. The person who you get the spell cast on will start avoiding the person who cast a spell on him. They start to suffer for some sort of mental disorder. The person might also get better with the help of a magician who will tell him about the actual situation and that he was under a spell. The magician will remove the spell that was cast and he will get back to normal. So remember that you will not be getting any positive results if you cast it on a heterosexual person.
