Dromon Bureau of Shipping (DBS) is proud to announce a substantial improvement in its performance on the latest Paris MoU List for Recognized Organizations (ROs), covering the period 2022-2024. This new list, effective July 1, 2025, is crucial for calculating a ship’s risk profile, which in turn determines its inspection priority.
DBS’s Excess Factor has seen a significant decrease from 0.33 to 0.14. This continues a positive trend, building on the reduction from 0.63 to 0.33 in the previous three-year period.
This achievement underscores DBS’s unwavering commitment to enhancing safety and performance across its fleet. The success is a direct result of several proactive and continuously refined initiatives, including:
- Enhanced Detention Prevention Policy: Our refined policy ensures even clearer and more consistent procedures for identifying and addressing potential detainable deficiencies during inspections, minimizing their occurrence.
- Deficiency Alerts: We’ve strengthened our system for proactively informing clients about potential issues, enabling even faster rectification and helping them to avoid detentions.
- Proactive PSC Preparedness Program: Our comprehensive program continually evolves to better assist DBS clients in preparing for Port State Control (PSC) inspections, further reducing the risk of deficiencies.
- Dynamic Preventive Inspection Checklists: We regularly update and expand our comprehensive checklists to encompass emerging risks, allowing us to identify and address potential issues even more effectively before inspections occur.
Andreas Nicolaou, CEO of Dromon, expressed his satisfaction: “This remarkable improvement in our Paris MoU ranking is a direct reflection of our sustained dedication to operational excellence. It speaks volumes about the expertise and relentless hard work of our entire team, particularly those in our PSC Department, who consistently go above and beyond. We are incredibly proud of this collective achievement and remain committed to upholding the highest standards in maritime safety.”
