From a commercial and regulatory point of

based. For the PSC statistics in Chapter 5, Equasis uses as baseline over 100

this report those were aggregated into 13
This report also contains information on main ship types as follows:

More than one fifth of those vessels are • Offshore Vessels,

attribute a PSC ship type to eligible ships
that were not inspected.
FLAG STATES
Flag States (under which ships are

registered) are grouped in two categories,
“targeted” and “non-targeted”.
Those in the “targeted” group are the flag
States that appear on at least one of the
following: the Paris MoU Black list, the
Tokyo MoU Black list and the USCG Annual
Targeted Flag list.
Other PSC regimes provide their inspection
results to Equasis, but do not use flag
target lists.
Those are annual lists and reflect the safety

performance of ships registered to each
flag State as measured by the number of
port State inspections and detentions
recorded over a three-year period.
It is possible for a flag State to be

“targeted” in one regime but not in
another. This can be because its safety
performance – detention rate – is varying
depending on the location of the fleet. A

RESULTS
Following the adjustment of Equasis scope

in this Chapter, the size of ship’s
population covered is significantly different
from “Equasis world merchant fleet”
previous editions.
Graph 22 shows that the Equasis fleet over

100 GT is dominated by ships classed by at
least one IACS member (80% in number
and 97% in tonnage). This is true for more
than around 70% of all ship types except
for general cargo ships for which 40% of
the fleet is not recorded as being classed
by an IACS class society (Table 23).
Graphs 24 to 29 show that in general larger

ships tend to be classed by an IACS society
and Tables 25 to 30 show that this is true
across ship types. More than a third (37%)
of the small ships in the fleet are either
covered by non-IACS members or had no
class record.
Graph 32 shows that 73% of the younger

ships up to 4 years old are classed by an
IACS class society, a majority that is kept
for ships of 500 GT and above.
Graphs 32, 42, 52 and 61 show that the

IACS members cover the majority of the
fleet irrespective of age with the least
coverage (63%) for older ships of 25+
years old.
Graph 72 shows that 76% of ships in the

fleet ≥500 are both flying a non-targeted
flags and classified by IACS members. At
the same time, 90% of the ships flying
targeted flags are classed by IACS.

is considerably younger than those which
are not. Graph 92 shows that 13% of the
IGP&I fleet is under 5 years, 48% between
5 and 14 years and only 11% is over 25
years old. In contrast, non-IGP&I ships are
in its majority more than 25 years old.
In Table 93 it can be noted that within the

younger fleet (0-4 years of age) of IGP&I
ships there are mostly bulk carriers
(33.3%) and oil and chemical tankers
(25.5%) representing respectively 82%
and 77% the younger fleet of those ship
types when compared with the figures in
Sub-Chapter 2.2. Those are mostly large
bulk carriers and large or very large
tankers as shown in Tables 97 and Table
99.
For non-IGP&I ships in Table 101 it is

shown that within that younger fleet (0-4
years of age) there are mostly fishing
vessels (21.7%), general cargo ships
(16.3%) and oil and chemical tankers
(14.3%), representing respectively 83%,
60% and 23% of the younger fleet of those
ship types when compared with Sub-
Chapter 2.2.
Sub-Chapter 4.4 shows that both for

targeted and non-targeted flags most of
their ships are covered by IGP&I
particularly the very large ones. In
addition, Graph 108 shows that at least half
of the fleet is both flying the flag of a non-
targeted State and covered by IGP&I.
Table 117 shows that ships insured by

companies outside the IGP&I had a higher
detention rate in 2022 compared to those
covered by IGP&I (6% compared to 2%,
respectively).

standards of such associations. For
example, the detention rate of tankers
covered by OCIMF is in general five times
lower than that of ships not monitored by
OCIMF and more than eight times lower
looking only at very large ships.
Table 161 shows that the majority (51.9%)

of the companies included in the data
collected by Equasis are operators to just
one ship and that 82% of the companies are
operators to five or less ships. On the other
hand, only 1% of the companies operate
more than 50 ships.
Table 162 reveals that ships operated by

larger companies had a lower detention rate
than those operated by smaller companies
while also being subject to more
inspections.

Equasis Statistics The world merchant fleet 2022
Annex II. Targeted Flag States 2022
The table of "Flag Performance" is a summary of the status of each flag within the different
Port State Control Regime that provides data to Equasis and issue lists of flag performances.
The table of targeted flags, namely the Paris MoU, the Tokyo MoU and the US Coast Guard can
be found here: https://www.equasis.org/EquasisWeb/admin/FlagPerf?fs=About
This table is refreshed annually for each PSC regime when a new annual report containing the
new flag performances is published.
For the Paris MoU and the Tokyo MoU, the possible values for each flag state are "Black",
"Grey" and "White". Please note that no deeper distinction is made in the "Black" category as
done in the annual reports of the Paris and Tokyo MoU between "high risk" and "very high risk"
ships for example.
For the USCG, only flag administrations on the "Targeted List" are indicated, once again,
without distinction between flag administration receiving "2 points" or "7 points" in column II
of the US Port State Control Safety Targeting Matrix.
If a flag is not evaluated by a certain PSC regime, the corresponding field is left blank, if a flag
is not evaluated by any of the PSC regime, it may not appear at all in this table.
Throughout the table, non-sovereign flags are displayed below their corresponding "mother"
flag (Gibraltar below UK, Faeroe Islands below Denmark...)
Another source of Shipping Industry Flag State Performance can be found on the website of
the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), corresponding to information released in 2022 by
the Paris MOU, the Tokyo MOU and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) in their respective
annual PSC reports.

Annex III. Default PSC Ship Types
This Annex was established mainly through statistical analysis and direct comparisons
between IHS Markit Maritime & Trade ship types and PSC ship types.
Although similar in layout, Annex III cannot be compared to Annex I given that the purpose
of this Annex is to attribute a default PSC ship type to ships and not to create categories of
ships as in Annex I.
