Official MCA guidance
Behaving safely at sea
Free · Designed for iPad
The Official MCA Guidance app provides useful, practical information to those working at sea. It also includes fishing industry checklists to prepare for vessel inspections.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is the UK’s national regulator to prevent the loss of life on the coast and at sea. It produces legislation and guidance on maritime matters and provides certification to ships and seafarers.
