Port State Measures Implementation

PSM Technology and Training

The Port State Measures Agreement, if implemented fully, is one of the instruments most capable of preventing IUU fishing.

Authorities implementing the Port State Measures Agreement need to adopt specialist practices to ensure that no IUU seafood can enter supply chains through their ports. This involves analysis of all vessel behaviour including donor vessels to carriers, effective inspection upon port arrival, and integration into a global network of enforcement practitioners to verify and share information.

OceanMind’s AI-based technology powers analysts to rapidly investigate information provided in an Advanced Request to Enter Port (AREP) all the way back to the point of harvest to ensure legality.

OceanMind’s network of expert enforcement specialists provide training on effective operating procedures, inspection techniques and evidence gathering, and overall implementation of PSMA policies.

Using these techniques, the Royal Thai Government was able to verify the legality of $500 million over five years.
