The 27 member authorities of the Paris MoU carried out 5,749 inspections. During each inspection vital points of SOLAS Chapter III, ISM and the LSA Code requirements were verified. Preliminary results from the Paris MoU inspections show that one out of every five inspections revealed CIC-related deficiencies.

This means that in 80 cases the lifeboat launching appliances had deficiencies which were serious enough to detain the ship.
