MCA Coding

I am a Nominated Coding Surveyor for the Yacht Designers and Surveyors Association Certifying Authority.  I offer a “hands on service” for commercial vessel operators throughout South Devon.

I have coded many different types of vessel,  ranging from Charter RIBS, sailing yachts, tripping boats, dive and survey vessels.

As a qualified Naval Architect and Level 1 Nominated Surveyor I can carry out inclining experiments and complete stability books for Category 0 and 1 operation in house.

I have acted as an Expert Witness on MCA Coding matters.

“I would always recommend using a local surveyor for an MCA Coding inspection.   In practice it is rare for a boat to demonstrate compliance to all of the coding requirements on the first inspection.  Therefore for operators in South Devon I am happy to include an initial consultation, the out-of-the water inspection and a follow up visit within my standard fee.”
