The State shall verify the correct application of the rules governing the safety of ships and their crews, whether French-flag vessels or foreign vessels calling at French ports. The assessment carried out by the Court in 2012 showed that, following these disasters, the control system had been strengthened, but without overall consistency and with shortcomings in the coordination and steering of the services concerned, related in particular to deficiencies in their information systems. It points to an incomplete improvement in controls, in particular due to the still inadequate management of the departments responsible for them, since the recommendations formulated on this point by the Court in 2012 have not yet been implemented. While the French model for monitoring the safety of ships and their crews is going to undergo profound changes, the State must measure all the consequences for its future role and positioning.
