The International Convention for Safety of Containers stipulates that containers must undergo regular security inspections. At present, there are two kinds of container inspection schemes in the world, which areACEP (Approved Continuous Inspection Plan) and PES (Periodic Inspection Plan). Both types of schemes ensure that containers meet the required safety standards, whereACEP is more common.
PES is a common method used by small operators today and requires "NED" (date of next inspection) to be displayed on the CSC card. Each container must be inspected within 5 years of manufacture and every less than 30 months thereafter.
inUnder the ACEP plan, inspections can be carried out in conjunction with overhauls or handovers, and must be carried out regularly at intervals required by the PES.is currently used by most box owners and operators.ACEP,
mainly for the following reasons:
inspections are more continuous; containers are in better condition.ACEP program does not follow a schedule. Therefore, in contrast to PES, the container generally does not show minor damage during the 30 months between inspections; there is no need to update the CSC nameplate.
