MCA Documentation Service


As a passenger boat operator, you will be aware of the complex amount of MCA documentation required by law for you to run your business.
This includes:

  • Domestic Ship Safety Management Code (DSMC)
    Passenger Boat Association Logo
  • Operations Manuals
  • Engineering Records
  • SAR plan

Producing these plans and Keeping them up to date with the very latest MCA requirements can be a chore.

Life would be easier for passenger boat operators if there were a common, easy to follow structure for the documentation and there are other benefits. By having an easy to understand structure retained electronically, the documents would be more accessible for staff, MCA, clients and the emergency services. Furthermore, maintenance becomes much simpler.

The PBA, in partnership with Waterday Services Ltd, is able to undertake all aspects of preparing, publishing and updating these MCA documents for you.

We offer you various levels of service to suit your particular needs:

  1. Full conversion service
  2. ‘Do it yourself’ conversion service with appropriate support
  3. Annual maintenance and updating service

We are also able to offer for example Risk Management Assessment workshops aimed at helping you to recognise, quantify and mitigate risks. Other service offerings are envisaged now including BML and SAR guidance and planning.

We aim to deliver professional, practical and easily maintained documents, accurately reflecting the latest MCA and other legal requirements. Whilst the documentation will follow a standard look and feel, each will reflect the individual company’s particular policies and style of operation.

Several operators have already benefited from this recently launched service and are very satisfied with the end result.
