The outcome of this calculation does not indicate anything about the quality of a ship. The Target Factor is in use within the Paris MOU on PSC as a tool for selecting ships eligible for an inspection only pdf the calculation of the Target Factor is divided in two parts: Generic factor - based on elements of the ships profile History factor - based on the ships inspection history in the Paris MOU. The generic factor is updated when the particulars of the ship change or the status of its existing flag or class change. The history factor is updated at the end of each day.   Targeted Flag On annual ParisMOU black list   Medium risk   Medium to high risk   high risk   Very high risk       Points:              EU recognised classification society Click  for a list of recognised classification societies   Yes   No       Points:     Targeted ship type Is the vessel a : Bulk Carrier more than 12 years old, a Gas Carrier more than 10 years old, a Chemical Tanker more than 10 years old, an Oil Tanker >3000gt and > 15 years old or a Passengership/Ro-Ro ferry?   Yes   No       Points:     Ships more than 12 years old graduated for non-targeted ship types (ref. above) and passenger ships Age:   >25 years   21-24 years   13- 20 years       Points     Flag state has ratified all conventions (ref. relevant instruments in Paris Memorandum text, ratification information can be found on www.imo.org & www.ilo.org)   Yes   No       Points:     Class deficiency ratio above average as identified in MOU annual statistics   0% or less   0% - 2%   2% - 4%   4% or more       Points     Not Entered a region port for the last 12 months   Yes   No       Not inspected in last 6 months   Yes   No       Detained during past 12 months   No   Once   Twice   Three Times       Points     Number of deficiencies per inspection during the last 12 months Click  to calculate the total points for this category       Points     Outstanding deficiencies from last inspection The value for the outstanding deficiencies is applied only in respect of the latest inspection - for each listed action taken"rectify deficiency at next port"or "master instructed to rectify deficiency before departure" and for every two listed action taken "rectify deficiency within 14 days"and/or "other (specify in clear text) add 1 point - In case "all deficiencies rectified" is noted on the report deduct 2 points       Points     Target Factor   THE PARIS MOU DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED top
