What's at stake

Non-compliance is not a risk.
It's a certainty.

MSN 1905 is not a formality — it is the regulatory standard that determines your vessel's readiness. An accurate, independent audit is your most reliable safeguard against port detention, financial penalties, and legal liability.

Port Detention

A failed Port State Control inspection can detain your vessel for days or weeks. Every day at anchor costs the owner — and your reputation.

Financial Penalties

Non-compliance results in significant fines from maritime authorities — far exceeding the cost of a proper independent audit.

Legal Liability

In a medical emergency, an incomplete or expired medical chest is not a regulatory failure — it is personal liability for the Captain.

The Process

Simple. Transparent.
Definitive.

FAQ

Your questions,
answered.

MCA MSN 1905 (M+F) mandates medical equipment standards for commercial yachts 100GT+. It requires an annual inspection by someone independent from the officer responsible for the stores. I specialize exclusively in this regulation.

The base audit (Level I) takes approximately half a day on board. Audit + Crew Training (Level II) requires a full day. The Full Compliance Package (Level III) also takes a full day, with comprehensive temperature mapping of all storage areas.

No — never. My only deliverable is a signed compliance certificate and a detailed report. My engagement is purely regulatory: I assess your vessel against MSN 1905 requirements and issue a formal compliance certificate. Nothing more.

Based in Switzerland, I operate primarily in Mediterranean ports. I'm available wherever your vessel is berthed — contact me to confirm availability for your port and schedule.

In most cases, yes. An independent audit identifies precisely what MSN 1905 requires — nothing more, nothing less. The assessment is grounded entirely in the regulatory standard, resulting in a medical chest that is correctly and efficiently aligned with what the MCA mandates.
