The Chief Engineer’s Ultimate Pre-Arrival PSC Checklist

The Agent Just Called. The Inspector Is On The Dock. Are You Ready?

Stop relying on luck. Use the exact system I used to maintain a Zero-Detention record for 13 years as a Chief Engineer.


The "30-Minute Warning" Nightmare

We all know the feeling. You are 30 minutes from 'Finished With Engines'. The crew is tired. You are thinking about your bunk. Then the bridge calls: "Chief, Port State Control is boarding."

Does your stomach drop? Do you start mentally scanning the engine room?

  • "Did the 4th Engineer test the Emergency Generator correctly?"
  • "Is the OWS sample line actually clear?"
  • "Did we remember to un-lock the Quick Closing Valves?"

If you feel anxiety before an inspection, it means you don't have a system. And in this industry, a lack of system leads to a Code 30 Detention. A detention ruins the company's reputation. It creates a mountain of paperwork. And worst of all, it puts your license—and your job—at risk.


There Is A Better Way.

My name is Daniel George Teleoaca. I have spent 25 years at sea, with the last 13 years serving as Chief Engineer on high-value vessels worldwide. I have faced the toughest inspectors in the world—from the US Coast Guard in Houston to the Paris MoU officers in Rotterdam.

I didn't survive because I was lucky. I survived because I developed a bulletproof pre-arrival protocol. I turned the "Pre-Arrival Check" from a panic attack into a routine.

Now, I am handing that routine to you.


Introducing: The Chief Engineer’s Ultimate PSC Checklist

"The Zero-Detention Standard"

This is not a generic checklist copied from a textbook. This is the battle-tested field guide I used personally to prepare my engine room, my paperwork, and my team for inspection.

Here is what is inside:

  • The "30-Second" Visual Sweep: The exact items a surveyor looks at in the first minute (and how to fix them before they board).
  • The "Big Three" Detention Killers: A deep-dive verification guide for the Oily Water Separator (OWS), Emergency Generator, and Fire Dampers.
  • The Paperwork Audit: How to cross-check your Oil Record Book against the Deck Log so you never get caught on a clerical error (Code 17).
  • The "Funnel Smoke" Protocol: How to tune for arrival to avoid visual pollution triggers.
  • Bonus: Scripting the Crew – What your Junior Engineers must know so they don't say the wrong thing to the inspector.


Who Is This For?

  • Chief Engineers who want to sleep well at night knowing their department is ready.
  • 2nd Engineers who want to prove they are ready for promotion by managing a flawless engine room.
  • 3rd & 4th Engineers who are terrified of being the one who "failed the test."


What Is Your Peace of Mind Worth?

A single detention can cost an owner $30,000+ in delays and fines. It can cost you your promotion.

I am offering you my entire system—13 years of Chief Engineer experience distilled into one document—for the price of two beers in port.
