The new "Black, Grey and White (BGW) List" includes the entire range of the flags, from those that standard of elevated quality in matter of safety of navigation and safeguard of the human life in sea to those with insufficient performances anticipates that are considered to high risk or much elevating. The directory is based on the activity of Port Is been Control (PSC), that is the procedure with which every State he carries out in own ports controls on the foreign ships, and in particular on the total number of inspections and detainments of the ships over three years for the subject States of flag at least 30 inspections in the period.

In the "Black, Grey and White List" of the 2010 is listed 84 flags, of which 18 in the List Black, 24 in Grey List and 42 in the White List. In the 2009 flags in the directory they were 82, of which 24 in the List Black, 19 in Grey List and 39 in the White List. The States of flag with the smaller listed performances of the List Black of the 2010 are North Korea, Libya, Togo, Sierra Leone and Montenegro.
