Passenger Boat Coding
Expert guidance and survey support for passenger vessel coding and compliance across Northern Ireland, Ireland and the UK.
What is Passenger Boat Coding?
Passenger vessel coding is the process by which small commercial vessels carrying passengers are assessed and certified for safe operation. In the UK and Ireland, this is governed by the relevant Codes of Practice — including the MCA's Code of Practice for Small Commercial Vessels (the "MGN" codes) and equivalent Irish codes.
McCollam Marine guides vessel owners through the entire coding process — from initial assessment and documentation through to final survey and certification.
