Once the items of concern have been explained, it is a matter of taking the necessary
action to resolve them. At this stage it is necessary to understand fully what the concerns
of the PSCO are and what actions need to be taken to resolve them. In some instances, it
may be necessary for ship’s staff to take steps to rectify the items or it may mean bringing
shore-side contractors on board to resolve the necessary items. In some cases, it may not
be possible to rectify the items at the port due to the fact that there are no necessary
facilities available. The work may be completed at the next port.
