⚓ PORT STATE CONTROL vs FLAG STATE CONTROL ⚓🌊 Do you know the difference? 🤔 Both play a crucial role in maritime safety, but their responsibilities are not the same. ✅ Flag State Control is the primary authority – ensuring ships under its registry are safe, seaworthy, and compliant. ✅ Port State Control acts as the watchdog – checking foreign ships that visit their ports and detaining those that fail to meet international standards. 👉 Together, they safeguard the oceans, ships, and seafarers.
