ed flag states, in conjunction with its Port State Control Initiative. The goal of the initiative is to focus USCG shipboarding resources on those parties most likely to be operating substandard ships which, by nature of their condition, pose an increased risk to crew safe- ty, the marine environment and ports. The updated list names those flag states whose registered ships had a higher than average history of Port State Control deten- tion over the past three years, while operating in U.S. waters. Eleven flag states have been added to the 1996 list: Cape Verde Islands; Peru; Algeria; Kuwait; Myanmar; Marshall Islands; Lithuania; Mexico; Antigua & Barbuda; China; and Brazil. In addition, some flag states have improved their performances by being associated with fewer than average Port State Control deten- tions, and have been removed from the 1996 list, namely: Argentina; Colombia; Dominican Republic; and the Bahamas. Following is the complete 1996 list: Algeria Malta Antigua & Barbuda Marshall Islands Belize Mexico Brazil Myanmar (Burma) Cape Verde Islands Panama China Peru Cyprus Romania Honduras Russia India St. Vincent & The Grenadines Italy Turkey Kuwait Ukraine Lithuania Venezuela Nichols Research Announces Intent To Acquire Advanced Marine Chris H.
