Safety Watch
Under the Safety Watch scheme owners elect to have their vessels checked annually by BMSR nautical inspectors according to a checklist supplied and regularly updated by the Registry. This checklist is compiled from statistical information following the monitoring of MOU detention reports and highlights the areas of ships that are most commonly causing difficulties. Entry into this scheme is optional for vessels under ten years of age joining the Register.
