When a ship enters the St. Lawrence Seaway in Montreal in Saint-Lambert lock, the St. Lawrence Seaway authority itself will perform an examination and survey the vessel to make sure everything is working—anchors, motors, and whatnot. Following that, every time they go into a port there will be what is called a port state control report. If there are items not functioning well, there is continuous testing. I understand under ISO 901 or 902 there's an audit process for that. There's a close follow-up for malfunctioning vessels and whatnot.
