The department or agency of a port State Administration with responsibility for the control of vessels at ports and anchorages within the State's territorial sea. For example, the MCA is the port State control authority in the UK, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is the port State control authority in Australia, and the US Coast Guard is the port State control authority in the USA and US territories.

Where, under the VTM Regulations, the MCA gives a shipmaster a recommendation about entering or leaving port or bunkering, or an opinion about bunkering, the master must inform the ship owner of that recommendation or opinion as soon as is practicably possible and by the quickest means available.
